Five ways multifi is revolutionising business finance for SMBs

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are the lifeblood of the UK economy. However, many of these enterprises face significant challenges when it comes to accessing the financing required to sustain, manage, and expand their operations.

 

That’s where multifi steps in, with an innovative online platform dedicated to revolutionising SMB business finance in the UK. In this article, we’ll explore five key ways multifi is transforming financing for UK SMBs.

1. Simplifying Access to Credit

multifi understands that time is money, especially for SMBs. Waiting for weeks for loan approvals is simply not an option when you need to seize opportunities quickly. With multifi, the credit application process is effortless. Through our intuitive digital platform, SMBs can instantly check their eligibility for up to £200,000 in credit. Gone are the days of lengthy paperwork and uncertain waiting times. multifi streamlines the application and approvals process, putting financing decisions back in your hands.

 

This was the scenario of a full-service marketing agency based in London. The business had been growing rapidly, acquiring clients across diverse industries. However, as they took on more significant projects, expenses began to outpace income. This common challenge among service-based businesses created cashflow issues, impacting the ability to pay staff and suppliers promptly. A £150,000 revolving credit facility from multifi helped sustain rapid growth and alleviate cashflow pressures. Thanks to multifi’s business finance, they could pay salaries and suppliers promptly while having 90-days to repay as client payments flowed in. This not only resolved cashflow issues but also allowed the agency to focus on client work, growth, and streamlined operations.

Traditional finance solutions weren’t suitable, and they needed a financing solution tailored to their needs. multifi offered a £100,000 revolving credit solution to address these challenges. By spreading out invoicing and leveraging multifi’s flexible facility, they could streamline their purchasing process, optimise efficiency, and respond swiftly to industry trends.
