Strengthening funding support for SMEs with Swoop

AAT is partnering with business funding platform Swoop to give accountants and bookkeepers powerful new tools to help their SME clients make smarter funding and cash flow decisions.

Swoop’s latest data shows that businesses supported by an advisor are 2.6x more likely to secure funding than those applying alone, highlighting just how critical accountants and bookkeepers are when it comes to early intervention and better outcomes.

What Swoop does

Swoop provides a clear and simple comparison of the financial products and services available to you, enabling you to make the most appropriate choice for your business and clients. That includes loans, grants, equity and asset finance.

Swoop works with institutional and fintech lenders, so it can identify the best financial options for you, whether you:

• need to stock up ahead of a busy season,
• want a VAT loan to help manage cash flow,
• are looking to purchase new equipment,
• or are considering expanding your business.

You’ll not only find lenders who specialise in your industry, but the ones who are most likely to give you an offer, and in the quickest amount of time.
