How long does getting approval for a business loan take?

The approval time for a business loan can vary significantly depending on several factors:

  1. Loan type: Simple products like overdrafts might be approved in a few days, while complex commercial property loans could take several weeks.
  2. Loan amount: Larger loans typically require a more thorough assessment and may take longer.
  3. Business complexity: Established businesses with straightforward financials may see faster approvals than complex or new businesses.
  4. Documentation readiness: Preparing all required documents can significantly speed up the process.
  5. Lender’s processes: Different lenders have varying assessment timeframes.

On average, you might expect:

  • 2-5 business days for simple loans or overdrafts
  • 1-2 weeks for standard-term loans or asset finance
  • 3-6 weeks for larger or more complex loans

At Fundmaster, we work to expedite this process by ensuring your application is complete and advocating on your behalf with lenders. We keep you informed at every stage of the application process.

What documents do I need to apply for business finance?

The specific documents required can vary depending on the type of finance and the lender, but generally, you’ll need to provide:

  1. Financial Statements: Usually the last two years’ profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
  2. Tax Returns: Business and personal tax returns for the past two years.
  3. Bank Statements: The last 6-12 months of business bank statements are typically used.
  4. Business Plan: Essential for new businesses or significant loan amounts.
  5. Cash Flow Forecasts: Projections for the next 12-24 months.
  6. Asset and Liability Statement: A current list of what the business owns and owes.
  7. Proof of Identity: Directors’ or owners’ identification documents.
  8. Information about the Security Offered: Details of any assets being used as collateral.

Additional documents may be required for specific loans, such as a copy of the contract for asset finance or a valuation for commercial property loans. At Fundmaster, we guide you through the documentation process, ensuring you have everything needed for a robust application.

Can I get business finance if I have a poor credit history?

While a good credit history is preferable, having a poor one doesn’t automatically disqualify you from obtaining business finance. Several options may still be available:

  1. Secured Loans: Offering assets as security can increase your chances of approval.
  2. Alternative Lenders: Some lenders specialise in higher-risk loans for businesses with poor credit.
  3. Invoice Financing: This focuses on your customers’ ability to pay rather than your credit history.
  4. Merchant Cash Advances: Based on your business’s daily credit card receipts rather than credit score.
  5. Peer-to-Peer Lending: These platforms may have more flexible criteria than traditional banks.

However, these options often come with higher interest rates or fees. It’s also essential to address the underlying issues that led to poor credit. At Fundmaster, we can help you explore suitable options and develop strategies to improve your creditworthiness. We work with various lenders, including those who may be more accommodating to businesses with less-than-perfect credit histories.

Do I need to provide security for a business loan?

Whether you need to provide security for a business loan depends on several factors:

  1. Loan Amount: Larger loans typically require security.
  2. Loan Type: Some loans, like asset finance, are secured by the purchased asset.
  3. Business History: Established businesses may have more unsecured options.
  4. Credit Score: Better credit scores can lead to unsecured loan offers.
  5. Lender Policies: Different lenders have varying security requirements.

Typical forms of security include:

  • Property (business or personal)
  • Business assets (equipment, inventory)
  • Accounts receivable
  • Cash deposits

While secured loans often offer better rates and higher amounts, unsecured options are available, especially for smaller quantities or established businesses with solid financials. These might include business credit cards, overdrafts, or unsecured business loans. At Fundmaster, we can help you understand your options and find the right balance between secured and unsecured financing for your business needs.
