Working Capital Loans

Cover everyday business costs and free up cash for growth with a working capital loan

What is a working capital loan?

A working capital loan is designed to cover day-to-day expenses like staff wages, utility bills and rent. It can help you keep things ticking over or plan for future growth if your cash flow is disrupted by a dip in revenue or long customer payment terms.

Working capital loans can come in handy for businesses of varying sizes. In fact, the British Business Bank reports that a lack of working capital is the main reason why UK SMEs use external finance.

How do working capital loans work?

Just like a traditional loan, you’ll apply to borrow an amount of money upfront and repay it in agreed instalments. As working capital loans are commonly used for short to medium-term operational needs, they usually come with repayment terms of up to 12 months rather than several years.

These business loans can be either unsecured or secured. While you may still need a personal guarantee, unsecured business loans are usually quicker to be approved. That’s because they don’t require you to put up assets as security.

Secured loans, on the other hand, do - and often come with lower interest rates as there’s less risk for the lender. They can also be easier to access if you don’t have a strong credit history.
