How quickly can I get a Quick Quote from BestBusinessLoans.ai?

Quick answer

Immediate summary

You can complete a Quick Quote form on BestBusinessLoans.ai in around two minutes and receive an instant, automated match and summary of likely funding routes.

That automated response gives an immediate indication of suitable product types and likely match quality, but it is not a binding offer from a lender or broker.

After the automated match, lenders or brokers we introduce may contact you within minutes or within a few working days depending on the lender’s process and the complexity of your enquiry.

What “Quick Quote” means and what happens instantly

A Quick Quote at BestBusinessLoans.ai is an AI-assisted, non-binding eligibility check and matching service designed to identify suitable finance options for established UK businesses fast.

When you submit the online form, our system instantly analyses your answers against our lender and broker network to produce a shortlist of funding types and a preliminary matching score.

This immediate output is shown on-screen and usually followed by an email summarising the match results and suggested next steps, which helps you decide whether to proceed without delay.

Typical timelines after you submit a Quick Quote

Instant: the AI match and on-screen summary appear as soon as you finish the form, typically within seconds to a few minutes depending on connection speed.

Minutes to hours: some lenders or brokers review and respond quickly and will contact you by phone or email to clarify details or request documents.

Hours to 2 working days: many finance providers take longer to assess your case, run basic checks, or prepare an initial indicative decision in principle, especially for higher-value or more specialised requests.

Factors that affect speed (and how to speed things up)

Response times depend on the complexity of the request, the funding type, document availability, and lender workload; for example, simple working capital or invoice finance requests are often quicker than multi-asset refinancing cases.

Accurate and complete information accelerates the process — include clear details on your turnover band, time trading, required amount, and purpose, and have recent accounts or bank statements ready if requested.

If you’re seeking finance for assets, such as machinery or vehicles, mentioning the asset type and approximate value in your Quick Quote helps us match you to providers who specialise in that sector; for equipment-specific support see our equipment finance guidance here: Equipment Finance.

What the Quick Quote can and cannot do (transparency and compliance)

The Quick Quote provides an immediate eligibility indication and introduces you to lenders or brokers who may be able to help, but it does not replace formal underwriting or a decision in principle from a specific provider.

Best Business Loans is an independent introducer and does not lend directly, give regulated financial advice, or offer guaranteed rates; any final terms, interest rates, and conditions are set by the lender or broker you choose to proceed with.

We comply with clear, fair and not misleading principles — your Quick Quote is intended to inform and speed your search, and you should treat any summary as indicative until a provider issues a formal offer.

Typical examples and expected timescales by product

Invoice finance and cashflow loans: quick quotes and matches are often immediate and many lenders can provide an initial response within hours, with funds available within days once approval is completed.

Equipment and asset finance: initial matches are instant, and lenders who specialise in assets may provide a decision in principle in 24–48 hours if they have standard valuations and confirmation of business details.

More complex refinancing, growth or sustainability projects: matching is instant but lender due diligence can take several days to a few weeks depending on supporting evidence, site visits, or multiple quoting processes.

What information you should have ready

• Company name and registration number — one line ensures correct identity checks.
• Approximate annual turnover and time trading — lenders use bands rather than exact figures initially.
• Funding amount and purpose — e.g. equipment purchase, cashflow, refinance.
• Recent management accounts or latest annual accounts — supply on request to speed decisions.
• Director details and basic credit history information — helps speed lender checks.

How we connect you and what happens next

Step 1: Submit your Quick Quote — the form takes roughly two minutes and asks focused questions to keep things fast and relevant.

Step 2: Instant AI match — you’ll see an on-screen summary and receive an email with suggested funding types and match strength.

Step 3: Provider introduction and follow-up — we introduce your enquiry to matched lenders or brokers, who will contact you directly to progress an application or provide a decision in principle.

What to expect from lender and broker responses

Some providers use automated decisioning and can return indicative offers within minutes, while others prefer a human review and may take longer to respond.

Lenders typically request supporting documents before issuing a formal offer, so fast provision of documents reduces the total time to a decision.

Remember that a Quick Quote speeds matching and shortlisting, but formal approvals remain subject to each provider’s credit checks and product terms.

Compliance, fairness and clarity

Best Business Loans operates as an introducer and does not offer regulated advice or loan products; we aim to be clear, fair and not misleading in line with FCA and ASA guidance.

Your Quick Quote is indicative and intended to help you make informed next-step decisions, and any communication from lenders will include their own terms, fees and conditions.

If you are unsure about any terms offered by a lender or broker, seek independent financial or legal advice before accepting an agreement.
