Alternatives to Virgin Money Small Business Loans
Virgin Money doesn't currently offer business loans to SMEs that have been trading for over 2 years. So, if you're an established business looking into Virgin Money business loans, you should consider the other options available to you from both the top tier lenders and alternative finance providers.
If speed and flexibility are important to you, it's worth looking into an alternative business loan. Because alternative finance providers look at different criteria to the big banks, you'll often find that they're able to approve loans much quicker and are also able to offer more flexible terms. For example, Virgin's Start Up Loan can take several weeks to be approved, whereas alternative finance providers can deposit the funds in your account within 48 hours of application.
