• ✔ Free eligibility check (quick, online)
• ✔ Matches to lenders and brokers for companies and SMEs
• ✔ Loans and finance from approx. £10,000 and up
• ✔ No obligation to proceed

Get Your Free Eligibility Check

Fast Business Loans is an introducer, not a lender. Submitting an enquiry is not a loan application and does not commit you to any provider.

How Our Business Finance Matching Service Works

Step 1 – Share your business goals

Complete a short enquiry telling us about your company, the amount you need and what the funds will be used for. The form takes under two minutes.

Step 2 – We shortlist suitable lenders & brokers

Using the details you provide, we select finance partners from our panel who specialise in your sector and finance type. We prioritise matches that maximise the chance of a positive response.

Step 3 – Compare options without pressure

Matched lenders or brokers contact you to discuss options and request any documentation. You can compare multiple proposals and ask questions — there’s no obligation to accept.

Step 4 – Choose the best-fit finance partner

When you find a suitable offer you can proceed directly with that lender or broker. Fast Business Loans receives no payment from you for making the introduction.

Responsible Finance Communication

Borrowing carries costs and risks. Make sure any borrowing is affordable for your business and that you understand the terms. Fast Business Loans is an introducer and does not provide regulated financial advice — consider speaking to a qualified advisor for personalised advice.

We handle your data securely and only share it with finance partners relevant to your enquiry. We expect partners to follow industry best practice and guidance on clear, fair and not misleading communications.

Business Finance FAQs

Does using Fast Business Loans affect my credit score?

No. Your initial enquiry triggers a soft eligibility check only, which does not affect your credit score. Lenders may run full checks later with your consent.

How quickly could I receive finance offers?

Matched brokers or lenders typically respond within a few hours during business days. The time to a formal offer depends on documentation and the complexity of your case.

What loan amounts do your partners typically provide?

Partners on our panel typically handle requests from around £10,000 upwards — many can provide significantly larger facilities depending on the product.

Can you help businesses previously declined elsewhere?

Yes — we often connect businesses to specialist lenders and brokers who consider a wider range of factors than mainstream lenders. Submit an enquiry and we’ll match you appropriately.

Is there any cost or obligation to proceed?

No. Our service is free. You are under no obligation to accept any offer introduced through Fast Business Loans.

How is my data protected?

We protect personal and business data in line with GDPR and only share information with partners relevant to your enquiry and with your consent.
