How much can my business borrow?

With business loans, as with personal loans, repayments are made monthly across the term of the product. E.g. 12 months, 24 months etc.

Lenders will consider some of the following criteria:

  • A business must show it can make a profit

  • Typically up to 25% of your last year annual turnover

  • Cashflow to cover the business repayments by at least double

For example, if your business took a £120,000 loan for 2 years then it would need to repay £5,000 plus interest every month. This means that your business would need to generate significantly more than £5,000 each month in cash to comfortably afford that loan. This is what lenders are looking at when it comes to affordability.

This repayment must from the profit in your business (or free cash flow in technical speak) and come after different expenses you might have in the business have been deducted. This will include any existing repayments, dividends or periodic payments you might have.

Which lenders should I apply to?

The type of business funding you can access will depend on the product you choose, the lender’s criteria, and the length of the loan term. Your eligibility is typically assessed based on:

  • Your filed accounts, business profit, and turnover

  • Your business and personal credit history

Lenders use this information to assess your business's financial health, stability, and the level of risk involved. A strong business credit score can improve your chances of qualifying with more lenders and unlocking better rates and terms.
