"Funding Options basically took all the hassle out of it. We've now been able to expand the company to a point where the next step for us will be to bring in investors over the next year."

Founder and MD of Indie Brands Doug Cunningham was looking for a loan to boost the business's growth, but his bank couldn't help — we found his fast-growing company the right lender to help finance the expansion. We helped the premium spirits distributor get the unsecured peer-to-peer loan they needed to fund their expansion

Indie Brands is a distributor of independent premium spirits brands, curating a portfolio for the UK's best restaurants, bars, hotels, and retailers. They decided they needed some additional working capital primarily to help fund their growth, bring on more staff and purchase more stock. When MD Doug struggled to get funding via his bank manager, he got in touch with Funding Options to see if they could help. Doug got a lot of confidence from the Finance Specialist he spoke to who made the whole process really straightforward. He was able to continue running the business whilst the Finance Specialist went off and found the best finance for him. Doug found that Funding Options took all the hassle out of the process and as a result they were able to get the funding they needed to expand the company. The additional funding has allowed Doug to get Indie Brands into a position where they can bring on investors.

"Funding Options made everything so simple for us. They got us the funding we needed within a day, and it was a better deal than anyone else could give us. They also went above and beyond for us — they called the JCB dealer directly several times to make sure it was delivered in good time. They’re so on the ball!"

Personal trainer Max Jenkins wanted to set up a new gym business in Scarborough. Before coming to Funding Options, he’d already laid the groundwork for his business, but because of changing circumstances and a limited knowledge of what was available in the market, he wasn't sure exactly how much he would need.
