Business Finance
Factoring
We work closely with all the major factoring and invoice discounting companies and can utilise our experience to obtain the best deal for you or your client. By unlocking the cash in your unpaid invoices, factoring allows your business to trade viably without the worry and burden of chasing unpaid debts, outstanding ledger balances and having to endlessly write off bad debts.
We can provide instant factoring information, provide factoring solutions and factoring financial services over the telephone; and arrange for a factoring agent to provide you information of the financing options available.
Factoring is a useful tool – learn how to use it to your advantage and how to improve the cash flow of your business.
Factoring is a sustainable way of ensuring healthy cash flow even when times get tough. This solution provides a safety net in uncertain periods, so you needn’t be concerned with outstanding debt.
Our experienced advisory team is on hand to explain these solutions with you in-depth, and can quickly establish if this is an option that will benefit your business.

Asset Finance
When companies invest in tangible assets – anything from office equipment to manufacturing plants, from cars to a fleet of aircraft – they usually need an affordable, secure means of finance.
That’s exactly what asset finance is all about.
Sourcing and funding the assets required to expand a business is difficult in the current financial climate. However, our experienced team can assist you in these areas helping you to avoid wasting time pursuing funding that is not viable or unlikely to be acquired at the rates you are willing or able to pay.
We can assist in sourcing any assets or specialist equipment. Flexible business asset finance can help you benefit from the asset needed without tying up valuable working capital. It can also reduce your exposure to the depreciation of the asset.
The two main forms of asset finance are leasing and hire purchase – both of which we can assist you with. We will work alongside you to choose the best solution to your needs.
Bridging Finance
If you need to raise money quickly against an asset, usually a property, bridging finance can be the ideal solution. We have a wealth of experience in obtaining short term finance for individuals requiring access to bridging loans.
Facilities can range up to 80% of property value and can be agreed within 48 hours.
We have particular expertise in syndicated bridging transactions between a number of lenders through a simple and efficient application procedure.
Development Finance
Development finance is just another potential avenue to explore and our team of advisors have specialist knowledge in providing commercial development finance for a variety of projects. Whether you are starting a new build construction project or converting existing properties, we can help you along the way.
We can help you acquire the perfect lender who is best suited to your requirements. Development finance will depend on the basis of the proposition and your experience. Our specialist team have the experience to assess the viability of the project and help you present the application to the appropriate lender.
Commercial Mortgages
There are a number of lenders in this market offering favourable rates to solvent companies and we have excellent relationships in this sector and can assist you in securing the necessary finance.
Our senior advisors all have a wealth of experience across all facets of commercial lending and can call upon some of the major underwriting managers of all the major lending institutions across the UK to assist your situation.
If a deal can be done we will source it for you and put your case forward in the best possible way. We are frequently asked to handle applications that have been refused by lenders and yet sometimes, can even obtain finance from the same lenders who point blank refused the first time around.
MBOS – Management Buy-Outs
If you’re looking to carry out a management buy-out (MBO), Cooper Williamson can assist you every step of the way. Our specialist advisors can put you in the strongest possible position by negotiating your acquisition terms and funding package; and advice on every detail throughout the process.
The Cooper Williamson experts can guide the MBO team from the very first step, such as initial discussions with business owners, through to total completion.
It is essential to obtain the best access to funders if you are to achieve ultimate success in an MBO and that’s why we keep effective relationships with providers of equity and debt finance.
MBIS – Management Buy-Ins
If you’re looking to buy into a business with a view to replacing its existing management, contact Cooper Williamson to handle the transition process.
You’ll have numerous questions from the outset starting with the obvious – is it a viable proposition? From there, you’ll benefit from clear, practical advice from our trusted experts. The process can be complicated and the new management often faces the extra challenge of being unfamiliar with their new responsibilities – and that’s where we come in. We regularly analyse business structures and advise on corporate growth strategies, and will work closely with you to develop strategies for financing and management going forward.
We have established a proven track record of pre-qualifying all our proposals and have not failed to meet the funding requirements.
