Unsecured business loans
Borrow against the strength of the business, not your property. Fixed terms, fixed repayments, nothing pledged as security.
One short form puts your business in front of a panel of UK lenders. See the offers you actually qualify for — then decide in your own time.
Pick a figure to start — you can fine-tune it on the next screen.
Three steps
No branch visits, no five-year forecasts, no chasing a relationship manager who never calls back.
Amount, purpose and a few details about the business. It takes about two minutes and there is no credit check at this stage.
~2 minutesYour profile is run against our panel so you only see the products your business realistically qualifies for — not a generic list.
Same dayCompare the offers side by side, ask us anything, then accept the one that suits. Funds can land within 24 hours of approval.
24–72 hoursFunding types
Different needs call for different structures. Here's what our panel covers.
Borrow against the strength of the business, not your property. Fixed terms, fixed repayments, nothing pledged as security.
Repay as a small slice of each card transaction. Quiet month, smaller repayment — ideal for hospitality and retail.
Release the cash sitting in unpaid invoices, or spread the cost of vehicles, plant and equipment over its working life.
A facility that sits there until you need it. Draw down, repay, draw again — you only pay for what you actually use.
A dip in your credit file doesn't end the conversation here. Several lenders on our panel weight recent trading performance far more heavily than historic scores — which is exactly why it's worth checking rather than assuming.
The difference
Same goal, very different experience.
| High-street bank | TopFunding | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a decision | 3–6 weeks | Minutes |
| Paperwork up front | Business plan, forecasts, full accounts | A short form and recent bank data |
| Credit requirements | Near-perfect file, often secured | Trading performance weighted too |
| Number of lenders seen | One | 40+ on one application |
| Impact of enquiring | Hard search on application | No footprint to see your options |
| Cost to you | Arrangement fees | Free — lenders pay us |
Reviews
Applied on the Monday evening after service, had the funds cleared by Wednesday lunchtime. I'd budgeted a month for it.
Two vans went at once and the bank wanted a forecast. TopFunding wanted six months of statements. Guess which one got the vans back on the road.
I'd written myself off because of an old default. They found a lender who looked at what the salon turns over now, not what happened in 2019.

By submitting, you understand that your details may be shared with lenders and finance partners on our panel for the purpose of assessing your eligibility. Some partners may run a soft search on your personal credit file — this does not affect your credit score. A visible mark is only recorded on your commercial file once you sign a credit agreement. Partners may contact you directly about the outcome and next steps, and you can withdraw or close your application with any of them at any time.
