As a business owner, we know that time is tight. If you’re worried about not being able to meet an upcoming payment due to tight cashflow, you won’t want to be spending precious hours trailing business loan sites.
With so many options, it can be daunting and difficult to know where to start, or even what type of loan will be the best fit for you.
Say you land that big client you’ve been chasing. But, you don’t have the resources to hire enough staff to deliver the project because you're waiting for payment from your last customer. Are you confident you could deliver your best work?
Maybe it’s your business’s busy season, but you don’t have enough stock to fulfil the volume of orders coming in. Could you still make your numbers missing periods of demand like this?
Perhaps you use a fleet of vehicles, or rely on machinery, but your older assets are costing you time and money through running inefficiently. Wouldn’t it be better in the long run to update the tools you rely on day in and day out, rather than just making it work?
If any of this sounds familiar, it could be time to know what your business loan options are. Search over 100+ UK lenders in minutes to quickly match with affordable finance without affecting your credit score. Get a business loan to help your company grow, or be protected from cashflow risks:

To streamline the process, you only need one application to apply to multiple lenders. You can speed the process up even further by having a few documents ready if something looks like a good match for your business.
Our lenders offer an extensive range of finance options - so you will find an option that works best for your business.
Once you have your documents ready, you could receive funds in your bank account in just 48 hours for an unsecured business loan.
For secured funding, such as Property Finance, this can take much longer as the process will involve valuations and solicitors.
It’s best practice to speak to a specialist as early on as you can. This will mean you will have more time to explore the market and find the best loan for your business. If your business credit score is low, this will also mean you have the time spare to improve your credit score to access cheaper interest rates.
Your business credit score is a key indicator to a lender on whether you can make payments based on your history. A good credit score means you will have more options and access to the best interest rates. There are some lenders that could help with a bad credit score, but these tend to be more expensive.
The best thing to do for your business could be to try and improve your business credit score, to save money on interest rates in the future.
For limited companies, approved funding will need to be deposited in a business bank account. A business bank account is not a requirement to get a business loan if you are a sole trader. Lenders will just need to see the documents for the personal bank account the business uses.
If you want to see if you could be eligible for a business loan, you can use our business funding calculator when you create your Capitalise for Business account. This will give you a personalised estimate of how much you could borrow.
The majority of lenders need some trading history (typically 1 year) to lend to a business. However some lenders will look at applications with as little as 3 months trading history. Decisions are generally made on a case by case basis. You can talk to one of our funding specialists to see your options.
