Client
UK construction consultancy
Situation
Growth funding requirement
Outcome
Funding support secured from Franklin Capital and Bibby
The company specialised in quantity surveying services and needed a finance structure that could support growth across more than one market.
The funding solution involved support from Franklin Capital in the US and Bibby in the UK.
The client was a UK-based construction consultancy providing quantity surveying services to the construction industry.
The business had international growth ambitions and needed funding to support new projects, expand its operations and pursue opportunities outside its existing market.
For many SMEs, international growth creates additional funding challenges. Lenders may be less familiar with overseas contracts, cross-border trading, customer concentration, payment terms or sector-specific risks.
The company needed more than a standard finance facility.
The structure had to reflect the nature of the business, the project pipeline and the fact that funding was required to support growth across jurisdictions.
UK businesses seeking finance connected to US activity can face practical barriers. Credit appetite, regulation, underwriting approach and lender familiarity can all differ significantly between markets.
The challenge was to identify funders who understood the opportunity and could provide support in a way that worked commercially.
Branta worked with the company to understand its funding requirement, growth plans and project pipeline.
We helped assess the funding options available, introduced appropriate finance partners and supported the structuring of a solution that reflected the company’s specific circumstances.
The funding package involved support from Franklin Capital in the US and Bibby in the UK.
The company secured funding support to help pursue international growth, support new projects and expand its operational capacity.
The solution brought together funding relationships in both the UK and US, giving the company access to finance aligned with its growth strategy.
Growth funding is rarely just about finding the cheapest facility.
For an SME with international ambitions, the right structure needs to reflect where the business is going, how contracts are won, how cash is collected and how risk is understood by funders.
Branta helped the company move from funding requirement to a structured solution with funders capable of supporting its plans.
