Most common questions on short-term lending for businesses
A loan facility that provides businesses with a temporary lump sum designed to provide urgent access to capital while a company awaits longer-term funding or a specific financial event, such as the sale of an asset, capitalising on an investment, or completion of a larger loan facility.
Terms usually range from 1 to 24 months, offering flexibility and speed when conventional finance options are too slow.
There is no straight answer for this as interest rates on short-term business loans can change. This can happen for several reasons:
- Borrower's credit history and trading history
- Amount and length of the loan
- If the loan is secured or unsecured
- Financial stability and cash flow of the business
This type of loan is designed to be quick, so the interest rate is usually higher than long-term loans.
You borrow a certain amount and pay it back over a shorter amount of time, with either weekly or monthly payments. You pay back both the principal and the interest, and the terms are more flexible than those of traditional bank finance.
- Outstanding payroll taxes
- Outstanding tax debts
- Equipment and inventory
- Fill cash-flow gaps until invoices clear
- Realising marketing campaigns
We specialise in speed and evaluate applications quickly, usually decided in around four hours. Funds can be ready in two business days once all is complete.

Rates are typically higher than for long-term loans. Repayment is usually rolled-up, ie the full interest and capital paid in one go.
