Alternative Financing

June 11, 2025

Why Alternative Financing with Quay Financial could be the right fit for your business.

For many businesses, securing funding through traditional bank loans can feel like navigating a maze—lengthy, sometimes unnecessary paperwork, long waits, rigid eligibility criteria—or sometimes no access at all. That’s where alternative financing comes in—and why Quay Financial Group could be the perfect option.

1. Faster, more flexible decisions

Alternative financing providers are designed to move quickly. SMEs or larger businesses often need working capital or investment at short notice—whether to seize a growth opportunity or take advantage of a supplier deal. Alternative lenders typically:

  • Streamline the application process—with minimal bureaucracy.
  • Make credit decisions rapidly.
  • Offer bespoke structures aligned to your cashflow profile.  

By comparison, traditional banks may take weeks or months or even decline applications outright. 

2. Tailored solutions to your business

With a finance provider like Quay Financial, it’s not “one size fits all.” Instead, we offer a tailored approach and practical solutions. This means that we work to ensure our financing matches your needs—not the other way round.

Alternative finance covers a wide spectrum such as for equipment funding, bridging finance, invoice factoring, revenue-based borrowing and more. Quay Financial may be able assist with the right mix for your funding needs, sector and scale. 

3. SME focused expertise

Large high street banks often struggle to understand or adapt to the needs of smaller businesses leaving SMEs at a disadvantage. In contrast, alternative lenders specialising in SME finance maybe:

  • More likely to assess your opportunity holistically—not just your balance sheet.
  • Speak your language—and take time to understand your strategy. 
  • Build an ongoing relationship with you and take a positive interest in your business funding requirements for a long-term relationship.

Quay Financial Group’s focus on smaller enterprises means you get SME experienced and considered guidance every step of the way.
