Debt Financing

Debt Financing– Overview

Debt financing is one of the most common ways for startups, Section-8 companies, and NGOs to raise funds without giving up ownership. Instead of issuing shares, the organization borrows money from banks, NBFCs, or financial institutions and repays it over time with interest. This approach works best for entities that want to retain control but still need working capital, project financing, or expansion funds.

 

At Cardiff Services, we provide end-to-end support for debt financing in India – from preparing loan applications and financial models to ensuring compliance with banking requirements and repayment structuring. Whether it’s term loans, working capital finance, project loans, or overdraft facilities, we help NGOs and startups secure debt funding while maintaining financial discipline.

Frequently Asked Questions

A company name search ensures that your chosen business name is unique, legally compliant, and not already registered with Companies House UK. It helps you avoid legal disputes, trademark issues, and confusion in the Cardiff business market.

If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to choose a different name or modify it. Using a taken name could result in rejection by Companies House or potential legal issues. Our experts can help you brainstorm alternative names that are compliant and market-ready.

It’s not advisable to use a name that’s too similar to another company, especially within the same industry. Similar names can confuse customers and risk trademark disputes. A company name search helps you identify these risks early.

For a company name search in Cardiff, you may need:

  • Proposed company name

  • Business entity type (Ltd, LLP, Partnership, etc.)

  • Jurisdiction (Cardiff / UK)

  • Owner or shareholder details (if applicable)

  • Business description

A “high probability” result means your proposed company name is likely to be available, but further checks are recommended. This is why our detailed Cardiff Company Name Search Report includes both identical and similar names for clarity.

Certain words are restricted under UK law (e.g., “bank,” “insurance,” “government”). If you want to use them, you’ll need special approval from regulatory bodies. We guide you through this process if your Cardiff business requires such terms
