Are you a lender or an introducer, and what does that mean for me?
Best Business Loans is an independent introducer using AI to match UK businesses with lenders/brokers. Free Quick Quote; we don't lend.
How long does it take to get an eligibility check or Decision in Principle (DIP)?
DIPs take minutes to weeks depending on finance, lender processes and document completeness. Prepare paperwork and use specialist brokers.
What is a Quick Quote and how do I start?
Quick Quote: a free, non-binding eligibility check using a short form and AI to match UK businesses to suitable lenders or brokers quickly.
What happens if I change my mind, pause the process or walk away?
Guidance on pausing, cancelling or walking away from finance enquiry: no introducer fees; credit impact only if lenders did hard checks or you signed.
What are the minimum trading history or turnover requirements?
UK business lenders usually want 6-36 months trading; 12 months is typical for small loans. Turnover often starts at £50k-£100k pa.
How do I choose the right finance type for my cash flow?
Match finance to cash-flow: forecast needs, compare overdrafts, invoice finance, loans and asset finance; stress-test scenarios and get quick quotes.
Can I compare terms from multiple lenders before I decide?
Yes — compare offers from multiple lenders with Decision in Principle checks, standardised illustrations and Quick Quote to find best business finance
Who will you share my data with and why?
We share only essential business and contact details with selected lenders, brokers and trusted partners for quotes, eligibility and fraud checks.
How is my information stored, used and kept secure?
We collect minimal business and contact data to match you with lenders, store it securely, share only with consent, and you can update or delete it.
Will you need business bank statements or management accounts?
Yes — lenders usually want business bank statements; management accounts are often needed for larger or complex finance. Prepare 3–12 months' docs.
Can I apply if my annual accounts or Companies House filings are not up to date?
Late Companies House filings don't always block finance. Provide management accounts, bank statements and an accountant's note for eligibility checks.
