Get Funding
Our Get Funding service simplifies the funding journey for businesses by providing expert guidance and tailored support. With a streamlined, one-stop-shop approach, we bring together the knowledge and expertise needed to help businesses access the funding solutions that best suit their needs.
There isn’t a one solution fits all when it comes to business funding. With multiple funding sources available to business leaders, it can be difficult for SMEs to determine the best funding option for them. In fact, 60% of SMEs struggle to access the right funding simply because they don’t know what’s available. Whether it’s grants, loans, or investment, navigating the business funding landscape alone can be overwhelming—and costly.
We recognise how complex accessing finance can be for business owners, especially in today’s climate. UMi is bridging this gap by creating a more seamless approach to business funding. Our expert funding advisers provide tailored guidance to help UK business owners access the right funding, alongside advice on innovation and growth strategies—so they can make informed decisions with confidence.
What we offer
Tailored financial solutions paired with targeted financial guidance.
We begin by understanding your business goals, challenges, and growth ambitions—because funding should support your strategy, not shape it. Once we’ve diagnosed your needs, we tailor a pathway that might include commercial finance, grants, investment, or other support that reduces cost, lowers risk, or accelerates your progress. If there's a smarter way to fund your plans, we’ll help you find it, shape it and connect you with the right expertise to make it happen.
With our human-led, digitally-driven approach, our Specialist Business Funding Team will help you understand your options and guide you throughout the entire journey.
Get Commercial Finance
Our experienced team help secure finance solutions for businesses from over 180 lenders. Saving time and resources, we handle the hard work, so you can focus on running your business.
Wherever possible, we look for grants, investment, or other funding that could cut costs, lower risk, or speed up your growth. If there’s a better way to fund your plans, we’ll help you shape a smarter strategy and connect you to the right support to make it happen.
Get Business Funding Ready
Helping small businesses build the right foundations for funding.
Getting the basics right early makes it easier to secure funding later. That’s why we support start-ups and small businesses to build good financial habits from day one.
Through early education and practical guidance, we help you put the right systems and processes in place, so you're ready when funding opportunities arise.
Get Investor Ready
We bring businesses with bright ideas together with the investment support that’s right for them.
Whether you’re developing your MVP, building early traction, or gearing up for your first round — we’ll help you move forward with focus, confidence and credibility.
At UMi, we’re here to help you navigate the world of business investment, connecting you with the tools, resources, guidance, and introductions to our investor networks.
