Business Support — Your Growth Partner
At Smooth Funding, we believe that access to capital is just the beginning. That’s why we offer hands-on business support, guiding your business every step of the way — from pre-finance planning to post-funding growth.
Before We Finance You
When you apply for finance through Smooth Funding, we partner with you to ensure your business is investment-ready. We take a deep dive into your operations, assess risks and opportunities, and help you strengthen your business plan for long-term success.
Working With You
We go beyond funding by offering practical business support tailored to SMEs across sectors such as manufacturing, services, agri-processing, and energy. From improving operations to building networks, enhancing skills, and unlocking market exposure — we work alongside you to accelerate growth.
Reaping the Benefits
As a Smooth Funding client, you gain access to a wider ecosystem of business management tools, advisory services, and strategic networks. This includes customized business training, technical assistance, leadership development, and connections that open doors to new opportunities.
Why Business Support?
What Do We Offer?
As a business owner, you understand the dedication and perseverance required to build and grow an SME.
Smooth Funding recognizes the many challenges you’ve overcome to reach this point. Accessing finance is just one of the hurdles along your entrepreneurial journey. That’s why our business support goes beyond funding — providing you with a trusted advisor, practical business tools, and guidance to navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and ensure your business continues to thrive.
Strategy, Risk Management & Business Tools
Your Smooth Funding Advisor meets with you regularly to review your business strategy and performance. While you remain in full control of day-to-day operations, we help identify risks, uncover opportunities, and provide guidance to ensure your business continues to grow sustainably.
We provide access to practical business management tools — financial tracking & reporting, marketing & sales management, HR, operational workflows and performance dashboards.
Technical Advice & Formalization
Our advisory team supports you in implementing processes and systems that improve efficiency and operational effectiveness. This includes guidance in financial management, accounting, human resources, operations, compliance and legalities. We also assist with formalizing your business structure, succession planning, and adopting best practices to strengthen your business foundation.
