Business finance options – which is right for me?

The right product for you will depend on your individual circumstances and what you want to use the finance for. If you’re unsure of which is best, please reach out to our expert team on 0800 048 2467 and they can discuss your needs in more details. 

Here are some of the key points to consider:

Do you want a lump sum of working capital?

If you’re looking for a capital injection, or want to kick off a long term project, then a business or Government-backed loan could be what you need. You can borrow large amounts and spread repayments over up to 6 years, making big investments more affordable. Plus, if you recoup the funds from investment early, you can settle the loan whenever you want with no penalty, and only pay interest on the time you borrowed.

Do you want ongoing cash flow?

If you’re looking to fund everyday cash flow needs, then a revolving credit facility like FlexiPay may be more suitable. With FlexiPay, when you make repayments, the credit is available for you to use again, so you can use it regularly without having to apply again.

Are you looking to buy/lease vehicles, equipment or machinery?

If you have a need for a particular asset such as a van or other vehicle, or a piece of equipment or machinery, then asset finance could be a good option. Options such as hire purchase are designed specifically for such cases, and our team can help you structure deals that best suit your needs.
