Common questions about business loans in Stockton-on-Tees
How is affordability calculated?+
Most lenders model EBITDA against debt service — typically wanting 1.25–1.5x cover. We'll model it for you before applying so you know where you stand.
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.
What rates should I expect?+
Rates vary widely with covenant — established profitable Stockton-on-Tees SMEs may price from circa 8% p.a.; weaker covenants or shorter trading history can run materially higher. We'll quote the realistic range.
Are loans available for Stockton-on-Tees businesses with recent dips in profit?+
Yes — many lenders look past one weak year if the trend has corrected or the cause is explainable. We'll position accordingly.

From £10,000 unsecured upwards, with secured lending into the millions. The honest answer depends on trading history, profitability and security available.
