Business funding · Europe · GBP

Business funding in the United Kingdom

The UK combines clearing banks, challenger banks, independent invoice financiers and a mature private credit market in the same ticket sizes. Filed accounts at Companies House mean a lender forms a view of your business before the first call.

What a UK funder looks at

Filed accounts, six to twelve months of bank statements and an aged debtor listing decide most cases. Directors are usually asked for personal guarantees on unsecured lending, and HMRC arrears are workable provided a Time to Pay arrangement is already agreed and disclosed.

Timing you can plan around

Invoice and asset facilities commonly complete in one to three weeks. Commercial mortgages and development finance run six to twelve weeks, driven by valuation and legal work rather than credit appetite.

Facilities we arrange

  • Invoice discounting and factoring
  • Asset finance and refinance
  • Bridging and development finance
  • Commercial mortgages and cash flow loans

Questions

Are personal guarantees always required?

On unsecured lending, almost always. Where asset cover is strong, guarantees are frequently capped or limited and can be negotiated.

Can we borrow against overseas customers?

Yes. Export invoice finance and credit insured facilities fund receivables from creditworthy overseas debtors, usually at a slightly lower advance rate.

Describe your requirement once. We structure it and approach the providers whose criteria fit. No upfront fees, charges are due only once funding is in place.
