Is a business loan right for your company?
A business loan may be relevant when your funding requirement is broader than a specific supplier payment or unpaid invoice.
What is a business loan?
A business loan gives a company access to funding that is repaid over an agreed period.
Depending on the amount, purpose, business profile and lender criteria, facilities may be secured or unsecured. Personal guarantees, indemnities or other security may be required.
Business loans can be useful when the funding requirement does not directly relate to a single invoice, supplier payment or trade transaction.
When a business loan may be more suitable than trade or invoice finance
If your funding need is tied to supplier payments, trade finance may be more relevant. If your cash is tied up in unpaid invoices, invoice finance may be more relevant.
A business loan may be more relevant if:
You need funding for a broad business purpose.
You do not have specific unpaid invoices to fund.
You are not funding a single supplier payment.
You want a fixed repayment structure.
You need capital for equipment, hiring, marketing or expansion.
You want to spread the cost of a project over time.
You need funding based on overall business performance rather than a specific transaction.
How Business Loans work
We keep the process clear, structured and focused on the funding outcome your business needs.
1. Tell us what the funding is for
We start by understanding the amount, purpose, timing and preferred repayment structure.
2. We review the lending route
We help identify whether a business loan is likely to be relevant or whether trade finance or invoice finance may be a better fit.
3. Provide business information
You may be asked for bank statements, accounts, turnover information, card takings, existing finance details or other supporting documents.
4. Upload documents securely
Documents are uploaded through a secure digital process with clear instructions.
5. Progress with available options
Once assessed, any available offers are presented clearly so you can decide whether to proceed. If you accept an offer, the facility progresses in line with the lender’s terms and requirements.
