SME Funding and lending is our specialty.

Do you love your business?

It may seem like an odd question but, when many of our clients first come to us, they’ve fallen out of love with their business. The constant pressure caused by financial problems has taken all the joy out of running the company. Some of them have even grown to resent it.

Maybe you can relate?

Perhaps you and your family are exposed to onerous personal guarantees? You’re probably spending your weekends and evenings glued to your phone. You’re definitely sick of thinking about money. Now’s the time to take action and call us for a chat. Let us help you regain the enjoyment of running your profitable business and reaping the rewards.

What can Funding Nav do?

Free Business Funding

In the UK, there are over 8000 business amd startup grants worth £200bn available to you. We’ll start by getting you all the free cash and tax rebates that you haven’t claimed (like R&D tax credits). This alone can give your cash flow a massive boost.

Turnaround Funding

We have access to debt funders and debt providers that can pay out the same day and equity investors that are looking to create value.

Business Loans

We work with over 300 lenders and aren’t affiliated with any. This means we can find the best value loans for you, including the BBB backed Recovery Loan scheme.

Private Investors

Through our database of 17,000 HNW (High Net-Worth) individuals, we can attract private equity investment into your business. We can raise anywhere from £250k to £10m and are exceptionally well-connected with Chinese investors.

Mergers & Acquisitions

If you are thinking of exiting your business or of growing through acquisition then we can advise you and introduce you

Imran Hassan, CEO, Lilly and Sid

Stephen understand our requirements and personalities and found a win win solution. we now regard him as someone that we trust and go to for advice, which is rare in the business world.”

Paul Gosling, Founder, Corporate Planning

“Having met Stephen at his engaging talk at a London based bank, we now continue to work on joint venture projects for clients. Stephen’s open minded attitude towards business is truly refreshing and I think, key for his progressive business techniques. His deep problem solving insight has been an asset to all who work with him, and his charming attitude provides positive results. I am so pleased that I have the honour of working with him and I looking forward to many years of working with this excellent and talented professional.”

Alan Turner

I have spent the bulk of my career in the technology sector working initially for a couple of large IT systems manufacturers and latterly focussing on software and services. Having exited a software consultancy business in 1999 that I co-founded, I have indulged myself in the horse racing and breeding industry and continued to look for innovative tech businesses to work with and, on occasions, invest in as an angel. These days, as a Funding Nav Partner, I am mainly focussed on helping early stage and growth businesses improve their respective cash positions. When I’m not working, I enjoy cycling and walking.

Bio: With close to two decades of experience within the financial advisory sector, I bring a rich tapestry of expertise to Funding Nav. Throughout my career, I've served as a trusted advisor, offering bespoke and holistic financial guidance to a diverse clientele, encompassing both personal and business sectors. My advisory spectrum spans from mortgage and investment advice to pension planning and protection strategies, coupled with meticulous cash flow analysis that forms the cornerstone of my practice. This breadth of experience has equipped me with a nuanced understanding of financial dynamics and a keen insight into the intricacies of client needs, paving the way for a seamless transition into the role of a Partner with Funding Nav.

What sets me apart is not just my professional acumen, but also my deep-rooted commitment to understanding the unique needs and aspirations of each client. I take a holistic approach to financial management, meticulously analysing market trends, assessing risk factors, and exploring innovative funding avenues to tailor solutions that align with my clients' goals. My passion for empowering businesses to thrive extends beyond the boardroom, reflecting my personal ethos of excellence and integrity in everything I do.

Outside of the financial realm, I'm an avid traveler who finds inspiration in exploring new cultures and cuisines. My love for adventure is complemented by my dedication to fitness and wellness, often found hitting my home gym or embarking on outdoor excursions with my family. These personal interests not only keep me grounded but also fuel my creativity and resilience in tackling complex financial challenges.

I believe in the power of forging genuine connections and leveraging diverse experiences to unlock opportunities and drive meaningful change in the businesses I serve.
