UK Business Loans from £4,000 to £500,000

Business loans give UK companies access to flexible funding for growth, cash flow, acquisitions, equipment and day-to-day operations — without tying up cash in long-term asset purchases. As an FCA-authorised credit broker, Percy Finance works with a trusted panel of UK lenders to match your business with suitable loan options based on your trading history, revenue and funding purpose. Whether you need an unsecured loan, short-term funding, a merchant cash advance or a secured facility against business assets, we’ll search the market on your behalf and present the most suitable options — with no obligation to proceed.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Do You Qualify for a Business Loan?

Most UK limited companies with a short trading history can apply. Here’s what our lenders typically look for.

  • 3 Months Trading

Your business needs a minimum trading history of three months. Startups may still qualify via our startup loan options.

  • £4,000 + Monthly Revenue

A minimum of £4,000 in monthly turnover demonstrates the capacity to service loan repayments.

  • UK Limited Company

Your business must be registered in England or Wales as a limited company. Sole traders — speak to our team for options.

  • UK Based Directors

At least one director must be a UK resident. Personal credit history may be considered by some lenders.

LOAN PRODUCTS

What Type of Business Loan Can We Find for You?

We work across the full range of UK business lending – matched to your situation, not a one-size-fits-all product.

  • Unsecured Business Loans

Borrow without putting assets at risk. Ideal for cash flow, growth, or bridging gaps quickly.

  • Short-Term Loans

Access funds in 24–72 hours for urgent needs, seasonal peaks, or unexpected costs.

  • Merchant Cash Advances

Repay as a percentage of card sales — perfect for retail and hospitality businesses.

  • Secured Loans

Access larger loan amounts by securing finance against property or business assets. Think carefully before securing debt.

Why Use a Broker for Your Business Loan?

Going direct to a single bank means you see one lender’s rate, one set of criteria, and one decision. If that bank says no — or offers poor terms — you start again. Using an FCA-authorised broker changes the maths.

Access to a Larger UK Lending Market

We work with specialist lenders, challenger banks, alternative funders and mainstream providers — not just one. If one lender declines or doesn’t fit, we have others ready.

One Application, Multiple Options

Submit your details once, and we’ll present the suitable options side-by-side so you can compare terms and choose what’s right for your business.

No Impact on Your Credit Score at Enquiry

Our initial lender searches are soft checks that don’t affect your credit file. You only proceed to a full application with a lender you’ve chosen.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions about Business Loans

Everything you need to know before applying.

Once accepted by a lender, most businesses receive funds within 24–72 hours. The initial matching process typically takes one business day, depending on how quickly you can supply documentation.

Submitting an enquiry through Percy Finance does not trigger a hard credit search. A formal credit check is only carried out when you proceed to a full application with a specific lender, and only with your explicit consent.

Yes — several lenders on our panel specialise in businesses with adverse credit histories. We’ll present options based on your full trading picture, not just a credit score.

No. Percy Finance is an FCA-authorised credit broker, not a lender. We don’t charge you any fees — our service is free to businesses. We’re paid by lenders when a successful match is made.

Lenders typically ask for 3–6 months of business bank statements, proof of identity, and Companies House registration details. Some lenders may request management accounts or filed accounts depending on loan size.

The amount depends on your business’s turnover, trading history, profitability and the loan structure. Through our lender panel, we arrange unsecured business loans typically up to £500,000 and secured loans for larger amounts, subject to affordability and lender criteria.

Common purposes include working capital, equipment purchase, VAT or corporation tax payments, stock purchase, expansion, business acquisitions, contract fulfilment and cash flow smoothing. Lenders typically ask the purpose as part of the application but don’t restrict use beyond avoiding prohibited purposes.
