When it comes to SME financing, getting the right advice can make all the difference between a business finding the perfect solution—or struggling to meet their goals. Having needs-based conversations with clients can allow advisers to unlock tailored financing solutions that not only solve immediate issues but create long-term value.

It’s not just about securing funding—it’s about building relationships that drive success for both your clients and your business. Below, we’ve gathered a series of success stories that show how these thoughtful conversations can lead to exceptional results.

1. Retail Clinic

Client’s Challenge: A retail clinic struggled to secure financing for expansion due to a low credit score, which made traditional lenders hesitant.

Adviser Approach: Instead of focusing solely on credit scores, the adviser took a holistic approach. Exploring the clinic’s revenue streams, future plans and how the funding would drive growth. By understanding the bigger picture, the adviser uncovered opportunities that the clinic hadn’t tapped into.

Outcome: Bizcap provided $118,500 in funding despite the credit challenges. This enabled the clinic to expand operations and improve their services. The adviser secured funding for a previously denied client by looking beyond traditional metrics, reinforcing their reputation for creative problem-solving.

Outcome: The adviser quickly connected the client with Bizcap, securing an additional $250,000 to their existing loan. This allowed the wholesaler to capitalise on the surge in sales and meet customer demand. The adviser established themselves as the client’s go-to advisor for future funding needs.
