A Cambridge- based roofing company approached Moorgate Finance with an urgent requirement to fund a £200,000 Corporation Tax bill due at the end of the month. The timing was extremely tight, with only days remaining before the payment deadline.
The Highlights
✅ Deal progressed and completed despite lender closures and reduced staffing over holiday period
✅ £200,000 Corporation Tax liability successfully funded
✅ Structured over a 12-month term to allow manageable monthly payments
✅ Prevented a major cashflow strain at year-end, protecting the client’s working capital for the new trading year
The Challenge
The client first made contact on the 22nd of the month, just over a week before the tax payment was due on the 31st of the month. This created immediate pressure, as the requirement fell directly over a holiday period when a lot of lenders were closed or operating with limited capacity. On top of this, key decision makers were unavailable due to the holidays, making turnaround times even more difficult. The business was also facing the risk of significant cashflow disruption if the tax bill had to be paid in full upfront, potentially impacting their ability to start the new year effectively.
The Solution
Moorgate Finance moved quickly to prioritise the case and worked alongside our trusted accountancy partners who introduced the opportunity to us. Despite the shutdown over the holiday period and reduced lender availability, we coordinated the application, underwriting and approval process across our panel. Through persistent communication and fast decision-making we secured £200,000 in funding structured over a 12-month term. This allowed the client to spread the cost of their Corporation Tax bill into manageable monthly payments instead of a single large upfront payment.
