Costs, terms & responsible borrowing
Costs vary widely by product and lender. Typical considerations include:
- Interest type (fixed, variable) and quoted rates
- Arrangement, broker and upfront fees
- Repayment term (months to years) and frequency
- Early repayment charges and default penalties
Always compare the total cost of borrowing (including fees) and test affordability against realistic forecasts. We recommend discussing terms with your accountant or an adviser if unsure. Remember: submitting an enquiry is free and non-binding — it helps you gather offers so you can compare them.

- Check flexibility — ability to make overpayments or redraw can matter.
- Ask about lender appetite and typical turnaround times before committing.
- Get independent advice for complex or high-value facilities.
