We will scour the market to pinpoint the best funding channel for you then work towards getting this secured with the lender.

When you first speak to UK Business Finance, you will be given your own dedicated account manager who will take you through the whole process from application through to receiving the funds. Your adviser will begin by asking you various questions regarding your business and its funding needs. These answers will then inform their search as they scour the market for the most appropriate type of finance for your business. Your adviser will talk through their findings with you and present a short-list of lenders; they will also give their expert recommendation about which finance solution is best matched to your needs. Your account manager will then take care of the entire application process from filing the paperwork through to liaising with the lender on your behalf.

The amount you can borrow depends on a whole host of factors including what you need the funds for, how long your company has been running for, and the credit worthiness of your business. Regardless of your circumstances, UK Business Finance will always work towards getting you the money your business needs whether this is through a mainstream lender, a challenger bank, or by looking at more niche funding channels.

When it comes to business funding, we understand that time is of the essence. Our enviable market knowledge coupled with our extensive network of lenders means we are able to move quickly and secure the money you need, in some cases the money can be in your account the very same day. We know the right lenders to approach and will not waste time applying to finance providers who are unlikely to accept your application.

It is possible to obtain funding without a personal guarantee. Giving a personal guarantee significantly increases the likelihood of your application being successful and can often mean a lower interest rate being offered. However, you must think carefully about the personal repercussions providing this type of security before you go ahead.

UK Business Finance will not conduct a credit check; however, it is likely that your chosen lender will need to do this before advancing any funds. Conducting multiple credit checks can be damaging to your credit rating which is why applying to multiple lenders is not advised. Failing to keep up with your monthly repayments will negatively impact your credit rating, while maintaining your payments will likely give a boost to your credit record.

Of course. As businesses grow and evolve, it is only natural that its requirements for outside funding also change over time. Refinancing existing borrowing helps ensure your company is being financed in the most appropriate and cost-effective way depending on its own unique circumstances at any one time. This can save you money, improve cash flow, and mean your business is financially ready to seize future opportunities or embark on an expansion project.

Depending on the type of finance you take out you may have the option to repay the amount early; this could potentially save you money in the long-term. If the option for early repayment is important to you then you are strongly advised to make this clear to your UK Business Finance adviser who will be able to source the most appropriate funding channel for you.
