Using fresh working capital to grow your business

  • Give yourself more time to plan

    Juggling cashflow can cost you a lot of lost time, particularly when payroll and tax bills are due. Having a good working capital balance can ease that pressure significantly, giving you more time to plan for the future.

  • Invest in new opportunities

    With a stronger short-term cash position it's easier to seize commercial opportunities that present themselves, such as purchasing more stock or taking on new staff.

What our customers say about Qardus

Testimonials from business owners who've raised working capital through us. BN

Qardus is a great example of the importance of flexible working capital for asset light businesses such as ours. Without the assets to offer a traditional lender as collateral, micro SMEs are often turned away. Qardus worked with us to understand our strategy and ambitions, and the funding provided will support the investment required to update our data service provider, allowing us to have more control of our central costs.
