Investment & Funding for Business

HuntFunding is an RHF service, specialising in providing successful Funding and Investment expertise and support to SME businesses. We guide companies towards securing the financial support they need to thrive and realise their ambitions.

We have a unique ability to provide hands-on support to secure both Equity and Debt funding solutions, ensuring that businesses can access the capital necessary for growth. We pride ourselves on preparing our clients for investment through a meticulous appraisal and qualification process, making certain that they are truly investment ready.

In the highly competitive landscape of fundraising, standing out is crucial. Our team works diligently to ensure that our clients’ propositions are not just noticed but are compelling enough to attract investors and funders.

This commitment to excellence is particularly evident in our support for younger businesses, where we collaborate with our professional services Associates to navigate SEIS and EIS registration, a critical step for UK equity investors.

Our extensive network of investors and funding sources includes:

• Capital Houses
• Family Offices
• Business Angels
• VCs and VCTs
• Debt Finance
• Asset Finance
• Future Funding
• Invoice Financing
• Trade Finance
• Commercial Mortgages
• Bridging Loans
• MBO and IBO funding
• Crowd and Co Funders

Our Staged Approach

Stage One – INITIAL ENGAGEMENT

We initiate the process with a complimentary discussion to understand the client’s needs and assess the potential for success. This includes reviewing available materials and an initial qualification.

Stage Two – QUALIFICATION

We conduct a thorough review of the business proposal, examining its plan and people. This stage involves NDAs, a review of the business plan, initial data collection, due diligence, and a qualification assessment.

Stage Three – THE RAISE

This stage, spanning 3-4 months, involves developing marketing materials, data rooms, and investor presentation coaching. We guide clients through the rigorous process of gaining investor commitment.

What Our Clients Say

CEO of an Office Design and Build Specialist

“As a small business, recently formed but rapidly growing, we had a need for credit which seemed difficult to obtain. The HuntFunding team introduced us to an avenue we hadn’t considered previously. Not only did we get the funds needed, £480,000, but they also educated us greatly about how the funding space works, making us ten times more prepared going forward.”

Managing Director of a SaaS Solution Provider

“We struggled to find a direct route to funds, so many time wasters! We were introduced to the team at HuntFunding, and they provided straightforward practical guidance in the preparation in the required cornerstone information that, with their help, led to us successfully raising the funds needed to move forward.”

Business Owner, Property Developer

“As a growing property developer with a limited, but successful track record, we found securing suitable levels of debt-based project finance difficult. HuntFunding was able to introduce us to a very proactive and creative funding provider that was able to assist and together they guided us through the challenges of a successful raise.”

Managing Director of an Online Retailer

“We were struggling to find funding for our online business growth, and we suffered from a significant cashflow problem. The bank was less than helpful. I would like to thank you for finding a solution with a future funder when others were so negative. It’s meant that we have continued to grow. Thanks again for your assistance.”
