Types of Nottingham business loans

Secured business loans

A secured business loan is usually secured with commercial property or vehicles, and securing the loan this way gives you access to higher loan amounts (£2 million+) and lower interest rates. So if you’re planning a large company expansion in Nottingham, a secured loan could be the answer. Borrow and repay in monthly instalments.

Unsecured business loans

An unsecured business loan is a great option if you’re looking to access cash in a matter of days. Use your unsecured loan to help your Nottingham business grow quickly, hire new staff, renovate your premises, pay bills and more. Borrow up to £500,000 and repay the loan in monthly instalments.

Invoice finance

With invoice finance, you can unlock up to 95% of the value of your unpaid invoice. This means you can access cash quickly but don’t have to repay a loan in monthly instalments. Perfect for keeping your Nottingham business cash flow positive.

Do I need a loan for my Nottingham business?

Whether you should apply for a startup business loan depends on your plans for growing your business. If you’re considering expanding your business to new locations, you might want to take advantage of a loan. This way, you can repay it in affordable monthly instalments rather than paying outright and unnecessarily dwindling your working capital.

Nottingham has a thriving business scene, so standing out against the competition has become even more important. And with its relatively low operational costs and affordable housing, Nottingham is a city that will continue to attract entrepreneurs and business owners, with more than 31,000 companies calling Nottingham home.

Am I eligible for a Nottingham business loan?

If you meet the basic criteria below, you can apply for a business loan for your Nottingham business:

• Your business is registered in the UK
• You have been trading for at least three months
• You’re over the age of 18
• You’re a limited company, limited liability partnership (LLP) or a sole trader

Alternative lenders are more flexible than traditional lenders — this means they look at applications on a case-by-case basis and consider other elements when making a lending decision.

So if you have bad credit, don’t worry. There are still plenty of loans available such as our bad credit business loans.
