Managing VAT bills can be challenging for many businesses, particularly during busy trading periods or when cash flow is tight. At Percy Finance, we work as a specialist broker to introduce you to a range of trusted lenders who can provide VAT loan facilities designed to help you spread the cost of your HMRC VAT obligations.
What is a VAT Loan?
A VAT loan is a short-term finance facility designed to help businesses manage VAT payments to HMRC. Instead of using working capital, you can spread the cost of your VAT bill over a fixed term, typically up to 3 months. This can help you maintain cash flow and keep other areas of the business running smoothly.
Key Features of VAT Loans
- Spread VAT payments: Typically over 3 months (subject to lender terms).
- Helps manage cash flow: Retain working capital for business operations.
- Available to a range of businesses: Limited companies, partnerships, and sole traders (subject to lender criteria).
- No disruption to your VAT payments: Lenders usually pay HMRC directly on your behalf.
All applications are subject to the lender’s eligibility criteria, credit checks, and affordability assessments.
Who Can Benefit from a VAT Loan?
VAT loans can be suitable for businesses of all sizes that wish to better manage cash flow. Common sectors that may benefit include:
- Construction and trades – businesses with seasonal revenue or large supplier payments.
- Retail and e-commerce – companies balancing stock purchases and VAT liabilities.
