Case 1 (Farm) Charlie Williams & Helena Prowski own a Heath Food Farm in Norfolk, where they grow wheat, barley and oats but often run out of cash just before the summer harvest. This year, a tractor caught fire and could not be used anymore. Buying another one would be too expensive. What sources of finance could they consider?

Case 2 (Gift shop) Azra Valani opened her Gift Shop two years ago. The business started well, but major roadworks and town centre redevelopment during recent months has reduced her passing trade and she is struggling to pay the rent for her shop.
