Eligibility & What Lenders Typically Look For
Each lender has its own criteria but many will consider the following:
- Trading history and company structure — lenders often require established businesses, but some partners support younger companies.
- Annual turnover and profitability — suitability depends on funding size and product.
- Bank statements and management accounts — recent financial information is commonly requested.
- Credit history — initial enquiries use soft checks; lenders may perform credit checks later if you proceed.
- Security & collateral — optional depending on product and loan size.
Providing clear, accurate information in your enquiry speeds matching and gives partners the detail they need to give an indicative offer.
How Much Can You Borrow and What Will It Cost?
Typical funding amounts via our partners range from around £10,000 up to several million, depending on product and security offered. Cost depends on:
- Loan amount and term
- Whether the loan is secured or unsecured
- Your business credit and financial profile
- Type of lender (specialist broker, challenger lender or high‑street provider)
Example scenarios:
- Lower risk (secured, established borrower): competitive rates, larger sums and longer terms.
- Medium risk (short trading history, partial security): moderate rates, flexible terms.
- Higher risk (poor credit, limited history): specialist lenders or brokers can offer solutions at higher rates or with restrictions.
All costs and interest rates are provided directly by lenders or their brokers after assessment. Always review full terms, APR and total cost before proceeding.
Responsible Borrowing & Compliance
We aim to make information clear, fair and not misleading. Fast Business Loans is an introducer — we connect you with finance providers who will present their own terms. Key points:
- We do not charge business owners to use our matching service.
- Initial enquiries are designed to avoid hard credit searches; lenders may perform them later.
- Read lender disclosures and seek independent professional advice if uncertain.
- Your personal and company data is handled securely and only shared with relevant partners for matching.

How to Start Your Business Loan Enquiry
Starting is simple — here’s what we’ll ask and what to expect:
- Basic company details and contact information.
- Amount required and purpose of finance (equipment, cashflow, refinance, property).
- Recent turnover and trading history (estimated figures are fine to begin).
- Preferred contact time and channel.
Once you submit the enquiry, we match you and a provider typically contacts you within business hours. The enquiry is not an application — it helps us match you to the right lenders/brokers.
