At Lime Finance Solutions, we help developers and builders secure the right funding to bring projects to completion. A recent case shows how new build finance made all the difference for a small construction company facing cash flow challenges.

The Client’s Challenge

A small building company was undertaking its first development—a new three-bedroom house on a garden plot. Rising costs, unplanned delays, and a difficult company separation meant cash reserves were exhausted.

Without urgent finance, the project risked stalling before completion.

The Aim

The client needed to:

Raise funds to clear existing project debt
Secure finance to finish the build before sale
Work with a lender who understood external pressures and complications from the separation

This required a lender who was flexible, willing to lend on a part-built project, and open to working around unusual circumstances.

The Result

Thanks to our strong lender relationships, Lime Finance Solutions secured £178,000 in new build finance (August 2025).

This allowed the client to:

Complete the build to a high standard
Cover existing debts tied to the project
Present a clear exit plan to the lender
Consolidate existing borrowing

The lender was satisfied with the quality of work, the standard of construction, and the security of repayment. By being flexible on documentation, they ensured the project could move forward smoothly.

Why New Build Finance Matters

For developers, unexpected costs and delays are common. New build finance provides the capital needed to keep projects on track when cash flow runs out, ensuring builds reach completion and profits can be realised.

At Lime Finance Solutions, we make sure developers get access to the right lender, the right terms, and the flexibility required to handle challenges along the way.
