Facilities from $50,000 to $250,000
A lot of businesses don’t have a profitability problem.
They have a timing problem.
Supplier payments fall due. Inventory opportunities appear. Wages need to be covered. Customers pay late. The business is performing, but cash flow timing doesn’t always cooperate.
And in many cases, traditional lenders simply can’t move quickly enough.
That’s where Quicksilver fits.

Built for trading businesses with active cash flow, Quicksilver provides practical access to working capital when speed and execution matter most.

Cash flow pressure doesn’t always mean there’s a problem with the business. Sometimes it’s simply a timing issue.
Hermes reviews the business, trading activity, cash flow position and repayment capacity.
A short-term working capital facility is structured with fixed weekly repayments.
Applications are reviewed through a streamlined commercial assessment process focused on practical business realities.
Once approved, funds are advanced quickly to support immediate business requirements.
Scenario:
A wholesale distribution business required urgent working capital to secure additional inventory ahead of a peak trading period.
The opportunity was commercially sound, but the client’s bank was unable to move within the required timeframe due to internal approval delays and policy constraints.
Without immediate funding, the business risked missing supplier opportunities and losing sales during its busiest trading cycle.
Solution:
Hermes structured a Quicksilver facility over a 26-week repayment term with fixed weekly repayments. The streamlined assessment and funding process allowed the business to access capital quickly and secure inventory ahead of the peak season.
Outcome:
The business successfully increased inventory levels, captured additional sales, and maintained supplier relationships without disruption to operations.
