Our funding solutions

Written by the company

Invoice Finance
Waiting to be paid is hard on any business. Invoice Finance lets businesses use their sales ledger as an asset which they can borrow against. It’s a simple way to release the cash that’s tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting weeks or even months to be paid, the cash can be accessed within 24 hours.
Asset Finance
We make it easy to get the equipment a business needs without the upfront costs through Hire Purchase, Lease or Refinance. And we’re fast. Finance is usually in place within 24 hours.
Bridging Finance
Where property is concerned, speed is everything. We’re able to have a decision in principle within 24 hours, and a fully credit backed offer within 72 hours.
Construction Finance
Construction businesses can often face cashflow challenges whilst waiting for customers to pay. New contracts are great for business, but they also bring with them new expenses, such as buying supplies upfront and paying additional wages, often leading companies to need to tap into their working capital before they receive their first payment. Construction Finance frees up the liquidity needed to complete existing contracts whilst looking to take on new ones so that growth ambitions aren’t slowed down.
Recruitment Finance
Recruitment Finance is a type of Working Capital Finance tailored to the needs of businesses within the Recruitment industry. It’s a complete finance and back office package in one simple to manage facility. We advance cash against temporary or permanent placements so that there is no need to wait for clients to pay invoices, as well as facilitate the processing, payroll and credit control demands by giving you access to RSM’s market-leading Recruitment Pay & Bill services.
Trade Finance
A simple way to bridge the financial gap between paying costs for the supplies a business needs and being paid by their customers with up to 120 days' trade credit available.
Structured Finance
Tailored funding through a combination of different assets: receivables, plant and machinery and / or property, with cashflow loans also available). We use our funding expertise to fully tailor a solution that is bespoke to a business to fully meet its requirements.

Since moving to Ultimate 2 years ago…

Since moving to Ultimate 2 years ago the service has been nothing but exceptional.
Chris moved Heaven and Earth to get the move from our previous lender over the line and the service levels from Michelle and James ever since have matched his passion and "Can Do" attitude.
Would and have recommended Ultimate to other businesses.

Outstanding Service for the last 8 years

I have been working with Ultimate Finance since 2017, with them managing my Invoice
Discounting ledger. Over this time, I have dealt with several relationship managers and
credit controllers. Naturally, everyone has brought their own style, but with the exception
of one short-lived experience early on, the service has consistently been of the highest
standard. That brief misstep was quickly addressed, which to me demonstrated Ultimate
Finance’s commitment to maintaining the quality of service they are known for.
When I first embarked on using an Invoice Discounting company, I didn’t know what to
expect. However, I have been pleasantly surprised. My business has gone from strength
to strength, and I can confidently say that this growth would not have been possible
without the support of Ultimate Finance.
It would be remiss of me not to mention two individuals in particular: James
Howley and Eve Waterman. James is, without question, an outstanding asset to Ultimate
Finance. His responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to resolve matters quickly are
second to none. To be frank, I would not still be with Ultimate Finance if it weren’t for
James’ continued support.
Equally, my relationship manager, Eve, has been exceptional. She goes above and
beyond to support not only my business but also me personally. The way I work with both
James and Eve feels as though they are part of my own team—vital contributors to the
success of my business. Over the years, our professional relationship has grown into one
of genuine trust and respect, and I would even go as far as to call them friends. That
speaks volumes about the culture and values that Ultimate Finance fosters.
I have been approached by other providers offering cheaper rates, but any experienced
business owner will know that cost is not everything. The true value lies in the quality of
service, reliability, and partnership—and in this regard, Ultimate Finance delivers far more
than any discount could offer.
The stigma that sometimes surrounds factoring and invoice discounting companies has
been completely dispelled in my experience. On the contrary, I now see it as a fast-track
route to sustainable growth for any business.
In summary, Ultimate Finance has been a trusted partner in my business journey for many
years. Their professionalism, culture of care, and the dedication of individuals like James
and Eve make them stand out in their field. I would not hesitate to recommend them to
any business owner looking for a supportive and reliable financial partner.
Yours truly,
Curtis Small
Managing Director

Exceptional Service from Daniel Iwanczuk and Kieran Clayton at Ultimate Finance

I have the pleasure of working with Daniel Iwanczuk and Kieran Clayton at Ultimate Finance, and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of service I receive.
