Frequently asked questions

Business grants can be issued by private or public organisations. The UK Government, for instance, offers a range of grants aimed at new and existing businesses. Business grants do not need to be paid back, however they are often difficult to obtain or are aimed at particular niches, and so usually have strict eligibility criteria.

Our business loans are more flexible – you’ll repay in monthly instalments, and can use the funds for almost any business purpose. It takes just 7 minutes to apply, no long forms or business plans needed, and if approved you’ll get the funds quickly so there’s no wasted time. They also come with no early settlement fees, meaning you can pay it off early at any time that suits you and save on the interest.
