Unsecured business loan

Despite being unsecured, you will typically have to provide a personal guarantee however this isn’t always required.

Revolving credit facility

A revolving credit facility can also be described as an alternative overdraft as you only drawdown what you need and you are only charged interest on the outstanding amount. RCF’s provide maximum flexibility and they can be paid back early at any time and at no cost. This is a short term and very flexible option.

Asset finance

Asset finance is used for purchasing and refinancing assets such as vehicles, equipment and machinery. As the lender takes security against the asset, it is typically cheaper and easier to get finance for compared to other finance products. Asset finance can also be tailored to your needs as there are many variables involved.

Merchant cash advance

A merchant cash advance is a loan against your card payments via your merchant account. The lender will look to lend around 1 month’s card takings. You also only pay back a % of your card takings each month which can really help with cash flow if you are a seasonal business.

Secured business loan

Secured business loans require a property to secure against. Secured loans are much easier to get approved for as it is more about the property itself and exit strategy rather than the perfomance of the business. As a result, a secured option can be useful if you’re struggling to get an unsecured business loan.

Invoice finance

Invoice finance is a facility where the lender will pay up to 85% of your invoices as soon as they receive them so that you don’t have to wait for your clients to pay. Once they are paid, the lender will take around 1-3% of the invoice amount as their fee. This can help ease cash flow and is usually seen as a long term form of finance.
