One lender saying no doesn’t necessarily mean funding isn’t available.

Different lenders have different criteria and look at different aspects of your business, from your industry and trading history to cash flow and how much funding you need.

If you've been turned down for funding, it can be worth understanding what other options may be available before giving up.

The Directors Choice can help you explore the funding options available to your business.

5 October is an important date if you need to register for Self Assessment.

If you need to complete a Self Assessment tax return for the 2025/26 tax year and you’re not already registered, you need to tell HMRC by 5 October 2026.

This could apply if you’re newly self-employed, have untaxed income, or have another reason to complete a tax return.

It’s worth checking what you need to do now rather than leaving it until the January deadline.

The deadline to submit your online tax return and pay any tax owed is 31 January 2027.

Make sure you know which deadlines apply to you and give yourself plenty of time to prepare.

What is a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)?

A Merchant Cash Advance is a type of business funding that gives you access to cash based on your future credit card sales or daily bank receipts. Unlike traditional loans, an MCA is flexible and quick, with repayments taken directly from your daily card transactions, meaning it adjusts to your business cash flow.

At The Directors Choice, we can help you access a Merchant Cash Advance, providing you with a fast, hassle-free solution when you need funds. Whether you need to cover short-term expenses or seize growth opportunities, an MCA could be the right fit.

Case Study: Unlocking Equity to Relieve Financial Pressure

Background: A client came to us feeling overwhelmed by high-interest short-term loans they had taken out to support their company’s cash flow. The loans became unsustainable due to the financial pressures of the COVID pandemic and the impact of a major customer going insolvent. The client needed a solution to free up funds and create a more manageable financial structure.

Our Approach: After assessing the client’s situation, we identified their unencumbered assets—such as plant and machinery—as an ideal resource to unlock equity. This would provide the necessary funds over a more affordable and appropriate timeframe.

Key Solution Implemented:
Asset-Based Lending: By leveraging the value of the client’s unencumbered assets, we facilitated an equity release. This gave them access to immediate funds without the need for additional high-interest borrowing. The solution was tailored to align with their cash flow capabilities, ensuring that repayment terms were sustainable for the business.

Outcome: The equity release significantly improved the client’s financial situation, enabling them to focus on stabilizing and growing their business. By reducing financial strain and implementing an affordable repayment structure, the company was set on a path toward long-term success and resilience.

4 Key Challenges Affecting SMEs in 2025

Increased Corporation Tax Impact:
Corporation tax changes from 2023 continue to affect SMEs in 2025. With profits over £50,000 now facing a tapered increase up to a 25% main rate, many SMEs that were once outside of higher tax brackets are now feeling the pressure due to inflation and revenue growth.

Digitalisation of Tax through Making Tax Digital (MTD):
The HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) expansion means more SMEs must use approved digital software for tax records. Non-compliance may result in penalties, so investing in digital systems has become crucial for staying on top of VAT, Income Tax, and Corporation Tax.

Rising Employment Costs & National Living Wage Increases:
The National Living Wage increase in April 2025 is impacting labour-intensive industries. Combined with pension auto-enrolment and competition for skilled staff, many SMEs are facing tighter margins.

Evolving Business Rates & Reliefs:
Changes to business rates in 2025, including reliefs for retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors, are impacting SMEs. Reviewing rateable values and appealing assessments is essential for managing costs.

14/05/2025

Business owners and directors - if your company falls behind with HMRC, the pressure to repay can be intense.

Often, raising funds through the business becomes the only option, but be very careful where you go. Many lenders will ask for personal guarantees or security against property.

At The Directors Choice, we offer specific VAT loans and PAYE loans, alongside Time To Pay Arrangements over 12, 24, or 36 months.

It’s crucial to have all your options clearly laid out, so you can make the right decision for your business.
Free advice, clear solutions, and the support you need - it’s your choice, The Directors Choice.
