Types of Sole Trader Finance

Unsecured Business Loan

Unsecured business loans offer amounts from £1,000 to £50,000 over 3 to 36 months, usually with decisions in 1 to 3 days. Suitable for managing cash flow or funding small projects.

Unsecured Business Loan

Unsecured business loans are ideal if you have at least 6 months of trading history and meet minimum turnover criteria. They offer between £1,000 and £50,000 without the need for collateral, often at APRs between 6% and 25%. The straightforward application involves a credit check and income proof. Freelancers and sole proprietors benefit from the quick funding for uses like marketing or small renovations.

Business Overdraft

A business overdraft gives you access to £500 to £25,000 as a safety net for short-term gaps. Easy to arrange directly with your business bank.

Business Overdraft

With a business overdraft, you secure a revolving credit facility attached to your business bank account, typically arranged within a week. Overdrafts are ideal for managing unexpected expenses and cash flow fluctuations, with variable interest between 10% and 30% EAR. They suit retailers or seasonal businesses who need flexible, on-demand funds without formal loan arrangements.

Invoice Financing

Invoice financing releases up to 95% of your invoice value, letting you access cash quickly while waiting for your customers to pay.

Invoice Financing

Invoice finance is suitable if you regularly invoice other businesses and those invoices meet a minimum value. You typically receive a large percentage of the invoice value within 24 hours to a week, helping bridge cash flow gaps. Fees are generally 1% to 5% per month, and funds are released once your client settles the invoice, making this ideal for agencies and consultants.
