Understanding Business Loans and Your Options
A business loan is capital provided to a company to support growth, working capital, asset purchases or refinancing. Loans can be secured (against assets or property) or unsecured. Repayments, rates and terms vary by lender and by the risk profile of the business.
Fast Business Loans is an introducer — we do not lend money or give regulated financial advice. Instead, we connect your company with lenders and brokers who specialise in commercial finance and will provide personalised terms when you apply or accept an offer.

What Will a Business Loan Cost?
Costs can include interest, arrangement fees, broker fees, valuation fees and early repayment charges. Lenders present rates as interest plus fees; always compare the total cost over the loan term.
Example scenario (illustrative only): a £100,000 loan repaid over 3 years at a representative rate could show different monthly costs depending on fees and whether the loan is unsecured or secured. Always review the lender’s full terms and affordability assessment.
Responsible borrowing: ensure repayments fit your cash flow, plan for worst-case scenarios and read all terms before committing.
