Retail Finance

At AIF Management, we understand that there can be no one-size-fits all approach to business funding. We believe that business funding should be tailor-made. When it comes to retail stores, there needs to be flexibility. We know that the requirements of a boutique gift store will be different to that of a kid’s clothing store. What you need is a retail business loan that is tailor-made to suit the needs and cash flow of your business as it goes through ups and downs.

It’s not always easy for companies to obtain retail business loans, and most business owners give up after receiving their first rejection. Applying for finance can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Most entrepreneurs head to their local High Street bank to apply for a retail business loan when they want to grow and expand their business – but this doesn’t always end well. Traditional bank loans are not particularly easy to get.

That is what sets our alternative business funding apart from traditional banks. While we do expect our clients to already be handling their finances responsibly, we do not penalise applicants if they have a less than perfect credit score.

 

Merchant Cash Advance

A merchant cash advance at AIF Management is designed to work with your business’ growth and not against it, enabling you to receive the cash you need now to help your business flourish. The repayment schedules are designed to wax and wane with your business’ monthly income, so there there’s less of a risk that you will find yourself overloaded with debt.

Approval for this product is primarily subject to your business’ performance rather than your credit score, using your previous months credit card receipts to get an idea of your average total monthly card payments.
