What is business finance and when do you need it?
Business finance covers a broad set of products designed to help companies manage cash flow, buy assets, grow or refinance existing debt. Common triggers include seasonal cash shortages, equipment purchases, property investment, expansion, or taking on a new contract that needs working capital.

Typical business finance use cases:
- Working capital to smooth cashflow between invoices and payroll.
- Asset or equipment purchases (machinery, vehicles, specialist tools).
- Invoice finance to unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices.
- Commercial mortgages and development finance for property projects.
- Refinancing or consolidation to reduce monthly costs or reorganise facilities.
- Sustainability and energy-efficient upgrade funding (solar, EV chargers, heat pumps).
Rather than searching dozens of providers, our approach is to match your specific need to the lenders or brokers most likely to help — saving time and improving the chance of a relevant quote.

Eligibility considerations & what lenders typically look for
Each lender has its own appetite, but common criteria include:
- Trading history and company structure (limited companies and incorporated businesses).
- Turnover and profitability — evidence of sustainable revenues.
- Purpose of the finance and how it supports the business plan.
- Security or collateral for secured facilities.
- Credit profile — lenders vary in how they treat historic adverse items.
Documents often requested: recent management accounts, bank statements, ID for directors, and a brief business plan or cashflow forecast for larger facilities. We help match you to partners who ask for what is reasonable for your situation.

Why use an introducer instead of going direct?
Searching for finance on your own can be time-consuming and may lead to irrelevant offers. Fast Business Loans offers:
- Speed: one short form and multiple relevant partners are notified for you.
- Relevant matches: we avoid sending your enquiry to unsuitable providers.
- No credit footprint: the initial enquiry is a soft, non-credit-search match.
- No extra cost: our introducer service is free to businesses.
In short: better efficiency, better targeting, and quicker outcomes. If you prefer, you can still contact lenders directly — but many clients find the matching route saves valuable time.
