How Our Business Loan Matching Works
Here’s how Fast Business Loans helps your company find finance, without being a lender or adviser ourselves.
- Complete a short enquiry (2 minutes). Tell us the type and amount of funding you need, plus basic business details. This is an enquiry only — not an application.
- We match you. Our system selects brokers and lenders from our panel that routinely fund businesses like yours.
- Partners contact you with options. Selected providers will call or email to discuss eligibility and provide quotes.
- Compare and decide. Review terms, fees and repayment profiles, then proceed directly with the lender or broker you choose.
No obligation, no hard credit check from us at the enquiry stage. If you want to proceed with a lender, they may perform standard credit checks.

Eligibility Snapshot & What Lenders Consider
Basic criteria lenders typically review
- Company trading history and legal structure (limited companies and similar).
- Annual turnover and recent profitability or cashflow trends.
- Credit profile of the business and, where required, key directors.
- Purpose of the loan and any available security or collateral.
Documents to prepare
- Recent management accounts (typically 12–24 months).
- Business bank statements (3–12 months).
- Details of outstanding debts or existing finance facilities.
- Invoices or contracts if seeking invoice or contract finance.
Even if your records are not perfect, it’s worth enquiring — specialist lenders sometimes consider unique situations. Remember: the enquiry is just that, not an application, and does not commit you to anything.
