Business Loans explained

A business loan gives your company a lump sum of funding to use for any business purpose — working capital, expansion, stock, equipment, marketing, or managing cash flow gaps. You repay in fixed monthly instalments over an agreed term.

How business loans works

You apply with details about your business (turnover, trading history, purpose) and the amount you need. The lender assesses your application and, if approved, offers you a rate and term. Once you accept, funds are typically in your account within 24-48 hours for unsecured loans.

Business Loans in Brighton: frequently asked questions

What business loans are available in Brighton?
All loan types are available to Brighton businesses — unsecured, secured, and merchant cash advances. Our 200+ lender panel has no geographic restrictions within the UK. Brighton businesses can access the same rates and products as London-based companies.
How much can I borrow for my Brighton business?
From £1,000 to £5 million depending on your business turnover, trading history, and the type of loan. Most Brighton businesses borrow between £10,000 and £250,000. Secured loans allow larger amounts if you have property or assets.
What are business loan rates in Brighton?
Business loan rates start from around 6.9% APR for the best-qualified borrowers with established businesses. Typical rates range from 8-25% APR depending on the amount, term, and your business profile. Location does not affect rates.
Can I get a business loan in Brighton with bad credit?
Yes. Several specialist lenders work with businesses that have imperfect credit. You may face higher rates or need a personal guarantee, but options exist. Our eligibility check uses a soft search only — no impact on your credit score.
How quickly can I get a business loan in Brighton?
Unsecured loans are typically approved within 24-48 hours, with funds in your account the same day or next business day. Secured loans take longer (5-15 working days) due to valuation requirements. The timeline is the same regardless of your Brighton location.
What documents do I need for a business loan?
For unsecured loans under £50,000, most lenders need 3-6 months of bank statements and basic business information. For larger or secured loans, you may need filed accounts, management accounts, and business forecasts. Many lenders now use Open Banking, reducing paperwork.
Is it better to get a business loan from my bank?
Not necessarily. Banks typically offer one product at one rate. Comparing through Lendus gives you access to 200+ lenders, including specialists who may offer better rates for your specific situation. Many Brighton businesses find better deals outside their main bank.
What can I use a business loan for?
Any legitimate business purpose — working capital, expansion, stock, equipment, marketing, refurbishment, hiring, or managing seasonal cash flow gaps. Unlike asset finance, business loans give you unrestricted cash to use as you see fit.
