Growth opportunities do not always wait
Sometimes the business needs to act quickly for stock, equipment, refurbishment, expansion, or working capital, and waiting on a traditional bank process is simply not practical.
If your business takes card payments, you may be able to access funding more quickly and with less friction than through traditional routes. NEOM helps businesses explore funding options linked to real trading performance, with repayments that move with card takings rather than staying fixed every month.
Funding is rarely about trouble. More often it is about moving on an opportunity before it passes, or smoothing the gap between a busy season and a quiet one.
Sometimes the business needs to act quickly for stock, equipment, refurbishment, expansion, or working capital, and waiting on a traditional bank process is simply not practical.
A business can be trading well and still need a funding boost to move faster or smooth out short-term pressure.
Fixed repayments every month do not always suit businesses where takings rise and fall throughout the year.
Because the payback is linked to card takings, quieter periods do not carry the same fixed monthly repayment pressure.
With the right information in place, businesses can often receive funding offers within 48 hours.
The process is typically more straightforward and more commercially focused than a conventional lending application.
Because the payback is linked to card takings, quieter periods do not carry the same fixed monthly repayment pressure.
For many businesses, the real benefit is speed and flexibility rather than waiting around for a slower, more rigid route.
A short conversation about how you trade is enough to find out what funding may be possible.
We gather a few details about the business and how it trades.
The business approves an open banking link so the funding provider can review real recent trading performance.
Based on that data, the provider can usually return one or more offers quickly.
Repayments are then taken as an agreed sweep from daily card takings, rather than through a fixed monthly amount.
Funding can go up to £2 million, depending on the business and its trading strength.
With the right information in place, a funding offer can frequently be produced within two working days.
Repayments are linked to card takings, so the amount taken changes with the level of trade.

Problem. On a fixed contract with limited reporting, the café wanted simpler admin and room to stay flexible.
