As a truly global banking partner, Barclays can help to facilitate the smooth operation of your supply chain from start to finish with trade finance. Rather than having to turn down new contracts due to a lack of available capital, they'll pay your supplier direct and in full, with the borrowed amount repaid once your customer has received and paid for their order.

Whether you're buying a new commercial property or wish to raise capital through an existing one, Barclays offer a diverse selection of financing packages to quickly give your business access to sizeable funds. You'll often be able to raise significantly higher amounts than when using a traditional loan and packages can be structured from anywhere between 1 and 10 years.

Need a hand purchasing new equipment or upgrading your machinery? Asset finance gives you full, unrestricted access to the tools you need without the hefty upfront costs. They'll purchase the asset on your behalf and lease it to you over a fixed number of years, giving you the option to buy it outright at the end of the agreement or begin leasing a more up to date technology.
