What challenges are you facing?
Not every loan suits every purpose
Financing machinery requires a different approach to funding stock or an acquisition. Using short-term finance for a long-term investment puts unnecessary pressure on your cash flow.
Online borrowing seems quick, but is often expensive
Fast online facilities can carry high effective interest rates and short terms. Look at the total cost, not just the monthly instalment or the speed of delivery.
Turned down by the bank, what now?
A rejection rarely means that financing is impossible. Often, an alternative structure or lender is a better fit, provided the application is thoroughly substantiated.

Frequently asked questions
How much can I borrow for my business?
This depends primarily on your free cash flow and collateral. As a rule of thumb, annual interest and repayments should be comfortably covered by your operating cash flow, typically with a DSCR of at least 1.2 to 1.3. You can calculate this yourself using our finance calculator.
Can I borrow money for my business as a sole trader or start-up?
Yes, but banks are cautious without a trading history. Microfinance providers such as Qredits, credit unions, and crowdfunding platforms specifically cater to start-ups and small business owners. A robust business plan with realistic financial projections is essential.
What is the difference between business and personal borrowing?
A business loan is intended for commercial purposes and is assessed on your company's financial figures. Borrowing personally for business purposes is usually ill-advised: you take on personal liability, and interest is not always tax-deductible in the same way.
How quickly can I secure a business loan?
Online credit facilities can be arranged within days; bank loans often take several weeks. Having a complete application pack (annual accounts, current management figures, financial forecasts, and an explanation of the purpose) significantly shortens turnaround times.
How much does a business loan cost?
Costs comprise interest, arrangement fees, and potentially costs for security or valuations. Always compare the total cost over the full term. The interest rate depends on risk, loan term, security, and the lender.
