Eligibility insights — improve your approval odds
While each lender has different criteria, these practical steps help improve the likelihood of a positive response:
- Be clear on the purpose of funding and how it will improve the business.
- Have up-to-date management accounts and recent business bank statements ready.
- Demonstrate stable cashflow or a clear plan to service repayments.
- Prepare explanations for any credit irregularities and provide supporting documents where possible.
- Ensure company records (Companies House filings, VAT, PAYE) are correct and current.
Remember: completing our enquiry does not trigger a credit search. Lenders may perform checks only when you progress with an application.
