We recently worked with Swoop Funding to help finance our new van purchases, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The process was smooth, transparent, and far easier than we ever expected. A special shout-out goes to Ikrah, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. She was proactive, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive—always quick to respond, always clear in her explanations, and genuinely committed to finding the best possible solution for us. Her professionalism and friendly approach made the entire journey not just stress-free, but genuinely enjoyable. Thanks to Swoop—and especially Ikrah—we were able to secure the right funding quickly and confidently. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for business finance done right.

Swoop have been nothing short of excellent. From sign-up to installation, the whole experience has been great. I can’t recommend them highly enough. There’s no more lag when streaming, and the service has been so good that I’ve also switched my business internet to Swoop. I’m really glad to now be on FTTP- previously, I was using wireless 5G for home and FTTN for the business, and neither came close to the speed and reliability we have now

We had been searching for loans everywhere but wasn’t having any luck as we are an online business. However, when we came across swoop funding Simrandeep was able to get us funding that we never thought we could get at this stage. She was quick to respond to our queries and always kept us in the loop of any updates.

I was struggling to obtain finance for a vehicle, for my company, through the car dealership. I spoke with Adrian at Swoop who took care of it all. He was professional, approachable, easily accessible and liaised directly with the car dealership (who weren't particularly forward leaning!). Thank you to Adrian and Nichola for all your help 🙂

Asset-based lending is a common way for businesses to improve their working capital if access to traditional financing is difficult.

As with all financial products, it is important to have all the information on how it works so that you can make the right decision for your business.

Why asset-based lending?

Better interest rates

Secured against the assets of your business which lessens the risk to the lender resulting in more favorable interest rates than an unsecured loan

More flexibility

The focus is on the quality of the asset to be secured and less on the credit rating of your business

Fewer covenants

There are typically fewer covenants with asset-based lenders as they focus more on the quality of the asset to be secured and less on the credit rating of the business

Types of asset-based lending

What can I use the funds for?

Industries taking advantage of asset-based lending

Manufacturing

Construction

Wholesalers

Transportation

Business services

Whether you are growing rapidly, have seasonal cash fluctuations or are looking to grow your business via new equipment or a new contract, asset-based lending is a good way to unlock the capital required
