Bespoke funding for established SMEs

SME Capital was founded to support the growing number of SMEs who face difficulty or frustration in accessing capital through traditional methods. We understand the importance of real and trusted relationships in the lending market and have dedicated Regional Directors based across the UK. By combining traditional lending expertise with the latest in data analytics, we are supporting established UK SMEs with their long-term objectives and business ambitions.

The market we serve 

SME Capital provides funding for mid-size businesses which are integral to the UK economy. We support UK businesses able to demonstrate recurring revenues and a track record of profitability. They often have unique needs that fall between traditional lending routes and the automated response from online only lenders. We cater to businesses with strong cash flows, assessing each business on its strengths, rather than focusing on the asset base.

Our platform and analytics

We support our local relationships and traditional underwriting with proprietary technology, including timely risk and trend analysis, in order to create bespoke funding structures without compromising.

We have streamlined the application process with key inputs overlaid with data analysis, to give borrowers an early but clear indication of price, structure and loan size.

James Kaberry, CEO, SME Capital

“We are flexible and relationship driven whilst using smart technology to enhance our credit process. In a sense we've gone back to traditional banking practices of really getting to understand borrower's needs and tailoring the loan structure accordingly.”

- James Kaberry, Executive Chairman
