How it works

Funding in as little as 6 weeks

  1. Application

    Simple online loan application requesting high level deal information. An indicative term-sheet can be issued within 5 days of application.

  2. Due Diligence

    Once indicative terms are agreed, borrowers and advisors complete an online questionnaire and meet with our credit team.

  3. Final terms

    Once final terms are signed, our standardised legal documentation allows for completion within 2 weeks.

SME Capital guided us through the lending process and, importantly, really took the time to understand our client’s needs. The speed of response and ability to provide a flexible structure ensured we got the deal over the line.
