Frequently Asked Questions

Finance Products and Solutions
What is Asset Finance?
Asset Finance allows businesses to purchase vehicles, machinery, or equipment without paying the full cost upfront. Instead, the asset is paid for over time through an agreed repayment plan, helping preserve cashflow. It can also be used to release cash tied up in existing assets.
What is cash flow finance?
Cash flow finance provides immediate access to funds, ensuring your business can meet short-term obligations like payroll and supplier costs. It’s particularly useful during seasonal fluctuations or when client payments are delayed, helping your business stay on track.
What is Invoice Finance?
Invoice Finance is a type of funding that lets businesses release cash tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting 30–90 days for customers to pay, a lender advances most of the invoice value upfront, improving cashflow. When the customer pays, the balance (minus fees) is passed on. This helps businesses manage working capital, pay suppliers, and invest in growth.
What is a merchant cash advance?
A merchant cash advance is an alternative funding option where your business receives a lump sum upfront, repaid automatically through a percentage of daily card sales. This flexible approach means repayments rise and fall with your sales performance, making it easier for seasonal or fluctuating businesses to manage.
Loans and Funding Options
Are VAT loans and tax loans available?
Yes. VAT loans and tax loans help businesses spread the cost of HMRC liabilities. Instead of paying a lump sum, you can manage cash flow more effectively by breaking payments into manageable instalments, keeping your finances stable and predictable.
Are small business loans available without collateral?
Yes. Many small business loans are unsecured, meaning you don’t need to provide collateral. This makes them accessible to growing companies that don’t want to risk personal or business assets. Approval is based on business performance and affordability rather than security, and some lenders require a personal guarantee from a shareholder and director.
What are short term loans and how can they help my business?
Short term loans provide quick access to funds, usually repaid within 3–24 months. They’re ideal for covering unexpected costs, bridging cash flow gaps, paying suppliers, or handling tax bills. Many businesses choose short term loans because they offer speed, flexibility, and manageable repayment periods.
