When Printing Companies Seek Finance

Printers commonly look for finance in these scenarios:

• Upgrading presses — buying digital or litho presses, flexographic or label lines (typical finance: asset/lease finance from £10k upwards).
• Expanding capacity — funding a new production line or second site, including fit-out and working capital.
• Managing seasonal peaks — short‑term working capital to buy paper, inks and consumables for large runs.
• Refinancing existing debt — improve monthly cashflow by consolidating or refinancing.
• Investing in sustainability — LED‑UV presses, waste reduction equipment or energy upgrades.

Indicative ranges: loans and asset finance often run from £10,000 to several million, with terms from 12 months to 7+ years depending on product and security. To check options for your situation, Get Quote Now.

Types of Printing Business Finance We Can Introduce

We match printers to lenders and brokers who offer:

Asset & Equipment Finance

Hire purchase, finance leases and refinancing lets you spread the cost of presses and finishing kit. Useful for both new and used machines.

Unsecured Business Loans & Revolving Credit

Quick‑turn working capital where you don’t want to pledge equipment — availability depends on business performance and trading history.

Invoice Finance & Trade Finance

Unlock cash tied in unpaid invoices so you can fund large print runs and buy materials without delay.

Commercial Mortgages & Property-Backed Lending

For buying or refinancing premises used by your print business.

Government or Recovery Schemes

Where applicable, we can introduce partners who can advise on scheme eligibility — always subject to availability and lender rules.

Eligibility & What Lenders Look For

While each lender sets its own rules, common requirements include:

• UK-registered trading company (we do not handle sole trader professional loans).
• Minimum funding requests typically start at £10,000.
• Trading history, turnover and recent management accounts.
• Details of assets to be financed (make, model, age) and existing liabilities.

Documents to prepare: recent management accounts, bank statements, customer contracts and a list of assets you want to fund or refinance. If you have adverse credit, tell us — we can match you to lenders who consider those cases. Start by completing a short form: Get Quote Now.

Understanding Costs, Rates & Terms

Costs vary by product and lender. Key factors affecting pricing:

• Secured vs unsecured: secured lending (against assets or property) is usually cheaper.
• Asset type and age: new machinery attracts better terms than older equipment.
• Trading performance and credit profile.

Typical fees may include arrangement fees, valuation fees and early settlement charges. Fast Business Loans does not charge applicants — our introductions are free. Our revenue comes from introducer fees paid by partner lenders or brokers. Always compare APR, total cost of credit and contract terms before accepting an offer.
