York FAQs
Common questions about business loans in York
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 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.
How transparent are the fees?+
Fully — we set out broker fee, lender fee, legal cost estimates and rate in writing before you commit. No surprises.
Can a sole trader borrow?+
Yes — sole traders and partnerships can access many of the same products as limited companies, though terms and limits vary.
What about a CCJ or HMRC arrears?+
Not necessarily a blocker — several lenders accept clients with adverse, particularly if the cause is resolved or being resolved. We'll match accordingly.
Is finance available for cashflow gaps?+
Yes — short-term working capital facilities, revolving credit, merchant cash advances and invoice finance all serve cashflow. We'll recommend the cheapest fit.
