Business LoansAn unsecured business loan is a funding solution which requires no personal or business asset as collateral. They are supported only by the borrower's creditworthiness. Unsecured business loans usually have fixed repayments over a period of between one and five years, with a higher interest rate for shorter-term loans. Unsecured business loans can range from £1,000 to more than £500,000, depending on the size of the business and its credit rating. You can be a sole trader or a limited company to access unsecured business loans.

EquityAn angel investor is any person who makes a financial contribution to a start-up, micro or small business. This is also known as equity funding. An angel investor may like your idea so much that they request a stake in your business. They may stipulate that they want to be a silent partner or receive a percentage of the profits over a specified period of time. Business angels usually have excellent knowledge in running a business and you may be able to benefit from their experience and their networks.

R&D Tax CreditsResearch and development (R&D) tax credits are a government incentive designed to reward UK companies for investing in innovation. They are a valuable source of cash for businesses to invest in accelerating their R&D, hiring new staff and ultimately growing. You can get tax credit on your investments in developing new products, processes, or services; or enhancing existing ones.

Working CapitalA working capital loan is used to finance the everyday operations of a business such as sales and marketing, product development, wages and other activities.
The short-term financing provided by working capital loans helps companies bridge financial gaps. Working capital loans are almost always secured with a company’s assets). If land or real estate are used to secure the loan, the payment terms tend to be longer and the interest rates more favourable. |
|
Merchant Cash AdvanceThis is a source of cash available to your business based on bringing forward your future credit and debit card sales. You can raise up to 150% of your future credit and debit card sales. The amount you have to repay will fluctuate depending on how much you process through your terminal. This means that on a slow day you will pay back less and on a busy day you will pay back slightly more. It is finance that works with the dynamics of your business.

Crowd FundingCrowdfunding is acquiring small amounts of capital from a large number of individuals to finance a new business idea. Crowdfunding websites bring investors and entrepreneurs together, expanding the pool of investors beyond the traditional circle of owners, relatives, and venture capitalists.
Typically, entrepreneurs will set up a profile of their project on a website. They then use social media, alongside traditional networks of friends, family and work acquaintances, to raise capital. |

Asset and Invoice FinanceFor many businesses debtor balances - the money owed by clients - is the largest asset on the balance sheet. Invoice finance enables a company to release almost all of the cash it has tied up in those unpaid invoices, as a loan.
Purchasing expensive assets such as vehciles or machinery can put severe strain on cashflow. Asset finance enables a third party to buy the asset on the company’s behalf and then gives them the use of it under a leasing or hire purchase agreement. |
