In the world of business, timely and flexible access to financing can be the factor that makes or breaks an enterprise. In start-up culture, it is not uncommon for entrepreneurs to take on a loan to get their business off the ground. However, established businesses may also need a financial boost to launch themselves into new markets and to take on new expansion opportunities. Regardless of the scale of your business, recent history has brought home the extent to which any small business needs to be able to respond quickly when hit by unforeseen challenges. The right business loan for your business can provide the capital boost you need to realise your ambitions or provide a security cushion for easy access to funds. At Cherry Godfrey, we offer a range of business loans which are as diverse and unique as enterprise itself!
Solutions tailored to you
Every good entrepreneur knows that customer satisfaction is key. The vital need for versatility and adaptability is fundamental to how we approach business lending at Cherry Godfrey. There are diverse needs of businesses in various stages of growth and development: accordingly, we offer a wide variety of options tailored to meet the individual needs of your business and the industry you are operating in.
What can I use a business loan for?
Many entrepreneurs investigate loan options to secure working capital to cover day-to-day expenses or to manage cash flow. For other small businesses, a loan might represent the opportunity to unlock capital to expand or fund a pivotal new piece of equipment.
Some ways in which a business loan might benefit your business include:
Navigating seasonality: As a trusted provider of financial services to the communities of the Islands in which we operate, we are familiar with many businesses which experience seasonal high and low periods. Our loans are flexible, and we can help arrange a repayment schedule that aligns with your business seasonality, paying back more during peak periods, and less during the times when business is slower.
Maintaining and investing in equipment: For some enterprises, a business loan provides the extra cash needed to maintain a good level of inventory and to purchase additional stock in preparation for an upcoming busy season, if needed. In addition, a business loan can help you to invest in upgrades for your existing set-up. Time is of the essence in the business world, so staying abreast of the newest technology and ahead of the curve in terms of long-term strategy and marketing will give you greater visibility and help you to grow organically.
Manage overheads and prepare for unexpected costs: Regardless of business activity levels, there are always ongoing expenses such as utilities, insurance and rent. Additionally, unexpected costs such as weather-related damages to equipment or premises may arise. A business loan can help cover these overhead expenses and prepare for unexpected costs, ensuring that everything is paid on time regardless of the time of year.
