What Is a Business Loan?
A business loan is finance provided to a company to support working capital, purchase equipment, refinance debt, expand premises or invest in growth projects. Loans can be unsecured (based mainly on trading performance and credit profile) or secured (backed against assets such as property, plant or equipment). Terms range from short‑term lines of credit to multi‑year term loans and hire‑purchase or lease arrangements for assets.

Frequently Asked Questions About UK Business Loans
Does enquiring affect my credit score?
No. Submitting an initial enquiry via Fast Business Loans is a soft process and does not impact your business or director credit. Lenders may carry out formal checks later with your consent.
How fast can I receive funds?
Timing depends on the finance type. Unsecured short‑term facilities and invoice finance can sometimes fund within days; secured loans and property finance typically take longer, often several weeks. Your matched partner will give realistic timings based on the product.
What loan amounts are available?
We introduce options starting at around £10,000 up to several million pounds. Exact availability depends on lender appetite, sector and security offered.
Can start‑ups apply?
Many lenders specialise in early‑stage funding, though minimum trading requirements vary. If you’re recently established, applicants are best placed to supply detailed forecasts and supporting information to improve match rates.
Are unsecured options available?
Yes. Unsecured loans exist for businesses that can demonstrate trading performance and repayment ability. Rates are typically higher than secured products and eligibility varies by lender.
What costs should I expect?
Costs include interest, arrangement fees, broker fees (if applicable) and possible early repayment charges. Lenders/brokers will set out fees and APRs in their quotes so you can compare total cost of borrowing.
