Our Finance Finder service is completely free and comes with no obligation. If you choose to take out a finance product, any fees or interest will be explained to you in advance. The cost you’ll pay will depend on the product and your business circumstances.
Business loans – Receive a lump sum of working capital and pay it off in fixed monthly instalments over an agreed term. Available for a wide variety of use cases.
Government-backed Recovery Loans – A type of business loan that provides a Government guarantee to the lender (in this case, Funding Circle). The guarantee means we can approve more businesses for finance.
FlexiPay line of credit – A credit facility that allows you to pay in 3 for business expenses such as bills, invoices, travel, stock, purchases and more.
Hire purchase — Allows you to pay for an asset in instalments over a set period, typically at a fixed interest rate, and own it at the end of the term. Your repayments will cover both the original cost of the asset and interest.
Finance lease — Allows you to lease a piece of equipment and use it over a period of time. Your finance provider will hold ownership of the asset, but you’ll receive exclusive use of it. Payments will cover the original cost of the asset and interest. At the end of the term, you can either renew your lease, or return the asset to the provider.
Asset refinance — Allows you to raise capital using your existing assets as security. This means you can borrow a lump sum, then make monthly repayments over a fixed term to pay it back. Any assets you put up as security will need to be owned by the business outright.
You will have a dedicated, UK-based Account Manager that you can speak to throughout the process. You can call or email them directly.
