Cardiff FAQs
Common questions about business loans in Cardiff
Do I need security?+
Not for most loans up to £250k — unsecured business loans are widely available for established Cardiff businesses. Beyond that, secured lending widens choice and lowers cost.
Will my accounts be strong enough?+
Lenders typically want two years of accounts showing affordability, but newer businesses and recovering businesses still have options through specialist funders. We'll be candid about likelihood up front.
What about loans for buying a Cardiff business?+
Yes — trade acquisition finance is a core area. Lender appetite depends on the target's profitability, the buyer's experience and the deal structure.
Can I refinance existing borrowing?+
Yes — consolidating multiple facilities into a single cheaper loan is often achievable, particularly if your trading has improved since the existing facilities were taken.
How does a merchant cash advance differ from a loan?+
MCAs are repaid as a percentage of card takings, not fixed monthly payments. Better for seasonal Cardiff businesses; usually more expensive per pound borrowed than a term loan.
Do you arrange invoice finance separately?+
Yes — see our invoice finance service. For some Cardiff businesses an invoice facility is a better fit than a term loan.
