Raising finance for an SME is rarely straightforward.
Sometimes it’s growth. Sometimes it’s refinance. Sometimes it’s fixing a situation that has already started to drift.
Branta helps you structure the right funding and get it over the line — especially when it’s not a clean, vanilla deal.
Many businesses approach funding through their bank or a broker and expect a simple process.
That works — until something doesn’t fit policy.
At that point, funding becomes a commercial problem — not just a product search.
We understand the full picture before engaging lenders.
We engage lenders who can think commercially.
We present the situation properly, addressing real risks.
We manage the process through to completion.
Examples of how we’ve supported clients in funding and refinance situations.
Business had less than three months of runway and required urgent funding and lender engagement.

Deal stalled due to insolvency association and policy constraints.
Outcome: Facilities secured across multiple properties
If the position is unclear, a Strategic Options Review can help you understand what lenders are likely to support — and what to do next.
Many brokers rely on volume — sending deals out widely and seeing what sticks.
That works for straightforward situations.
It breaks down when structure and judgement matter.
We focus on fewer situations and take responsibility for getting them done properly.
Most engagements combine a modest retainer with a success fee aligned to outcome.
This reflects the work required to structure, position and execute funding properly.
In some cases, particularly advisory-led work, we may structure this differently.
We explain this clearly upfront so you know exactly how the engagement will work.
The earlier a situation is understood, the more options are usually available.
A short conversation can quickly clarify what is realistic and what to do next.
