Each product is tailored to suit the needs of Hertfordshire businesses, from start-ups to established enterprises seeking growth capital.

Question 2

How quickly can I get a business loan approved?

Accepted Answer

Approval times vary by product. Unsecured business loans can be approved within 24-48 hours, while larger secured facilities typically take 2-4 weeks. Our team works to expedite every application by matching you with the most suitable lender from our panel of over 200, including alternative lenders with faster turnaround times.

Question 3

Do I need security or collateral for a business loan?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Unsecured business loans are available up to £500,000 for established businesses with strong trading history. Larger amounts typically require property or asset security. We also arrange merchant cash advances and invoice finance which use your sales or receivables rather than traditional collateral.

Question 4

Can start-up businesses in Hertfordshire get finance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While some products require a minimum trading history, we work with specialist lenders who support start-ups and early-stage businesses. Government-backed schemes such as the Start Up Loans programme are also available. We assess your business plan and find the most suitable funding route for your stage of growth.

Question 5

What are the typical interest rates for business loans?

Accepted Answer

Rates vary depending on the product, amount, term, and your business profile. Unsecured business loans typically range from 5-15% APR, while secured facilities can be lower. As an independent broker, we compare rates from specialist lenders to secure the most competitive terms available for your Hertfordshire business.

Question 6

Can I get finance to acquire another business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Business acquisition finance is one of our specialist areas. We arrange funding for management buyouts, management buy-ins, and business purchases across Hertfordshire. Finance can cover the purchase price, working capital, and integration costs, typically structured as a combination of senior debt and mezzanine.
