Business finance guides

Get to know
the small print.

Plain-English guides to the things worth understanding before you borrow. Read them before you compare offers, not after.

Borrowing basics

A low rate isn’t the whole story.

Put offers side by side on the same amount, term and repayment basis, and compare what you actually receive against what you actually repay.

Read the guide Before you sign

Personal guarantee. What does it mean?

Understand what you are promising before you sign a business finance agreement, and how you get released from it later.

Read the guide A little preparation

Your next move. Well thought through.

Five practical checks to bring to your next funding conversation, from the job the money will do to the quiet-month test.

Your next step.
Loan options by email.

Tell us what you need and where to send your loan options. Request quotes to compare, with no obligation to go ahead.

Built around your request. Start with the finance type and amount you need.
Email comes first. Request provider options and quotes in writing, so you can consider the costs.
You decide. Any quote depends on provider checks and availability. There’s nothing to pay us.

You never pay us. If you go ahead with finance through an introduction, the lender or broker may pay us a commission. Business Loan Advice is not a lender or broker and doesn’t give regulated advice. We’ll confirm any introduction with you before sharing your details. A request is not an application or a guarantee of an offer.

What should we know about your plans?

I’d like Business Loan Advice to email me about loan options and quotes for this request. If I give a phone number, I’m happy to be contacted if more details are needed. We’ll ask before sharing your details with a lender or broker. See our privacy notice.

No obligation. Free for you. No credit search by Business Loan Advice.
