Business Loan Checklist: What Lenders Usually Look For
Being prepared improves your chances of receiving timely and relevant quotes. Typical information lenders expect:
- Company details: registered name, company number and trading address
- Trading history: months/years trading and management experience
- Financials: recent turnover, profit/loss, bank statements (usually last 3–12 months)
- Outstanding debts: existing loans, credit facilities and monthly repayments
- Purpose of funds: clear explanation of what you will use the money for
- Security: information on assets available to secure a loan (if applicable)
- Director information: credit histories and identification documents
Top tip: gather digital copies of recent accounts and bank statements to speed up partner responses. If you’ve had credit problems, don’t be put off — our partners include lenders and brokers who specialise in more complex cases.
Costs, Rates & Repayments Explained (Clear & Fair)
Rates and fees vary widely by lender, product and borrower profile. Key concepts to understand:
- Interest type: fixed, variable or rate linked to a reference rate — ask how it will change over time.
- APR vs rate: APR includes interest plus certain fees — use APR to compare total cost where provided.
- Fees: arrangement, broker, valuation or early repayment fees may apply.
- Repayment profile: monthly capital & interest, interest‑only periods, or balloon payments — choose what suits cashflow.
Because every business is different, personalised quotes are essential. Use our Free Eligibility Check to receive tailored pricing from matched partners.

FAQs About Business Loans & Our Service
Are you a lender?

How quickly can I get funding?
Timescales vary by product and provider — some short-term facilities can complete within days, while property finance may take several weeks.
Can I apply if I’ve been declined elsewhere?
