Most lenders or brokers we introduce will call within business hours — often the same day (typically 1–6 hours). Expect a human follow‑up within 24–48 hours in most cases. Complex, high‑value or specialist fit‑out enquiries can take 3–5 business days (rarely up to 7–10).

Why this varies (quick summary)
- Automated acknowledgement: minutes after you submit.
- Fast contact: 1–6 hours during weekday office hours for many straightforward enquiries.
- Typical human reply: 24–48 hours.
- Specialist/large cases: 3–5 business days for partner matching and document review.
- Delays: weekends, holidays, incomplete details or niche projects can push response to 7–10 business days.

What lenders/brokers will do on first call
- Confirm contact and business details, loan amount and purpose.
- Ask about turnover, trading history, contractor quotes, timescale and security.
- Advise next steps and any documents they need.

How to get a faster call — quick checklist
- Provide a direct phone number and best call times.
- Enter clear project cost and preferred funding amount.
- Upload contractor quotes or estimates where possible.
- Be upfront about credit history; have recent bank statements/accounts ready.
- Mark the enquiry urgent if you need a fast turnaround.

Yes — many of UK Business Loans’ lender and broker partners will provide invoice finance for certified building‑services invoices (interim payment certificates, retention releases, completion certificates). UK Business Loans is an introducer: we match you to specialist funders who assess the certification, debtor strength and contract terms.

Key details
- Typical advance rates: commonly 70%–90% of the certified invoice value (depends on debtor risk and invoice size).
- Turnaround: initial offers often within 24–72 hours once full documentation is supplied; first drawdown may take a few extra days for onboarding and checks.
- Minimums and limits: partners commonly work from around £10,000 upwards; facilities can scale to several million depending on portfolio and debtor quality.
- Documents lenders want: certified invoice/interim application, underlying contract or PO, completion/interim certificates, debtor company details, recent accounts and KYC ID.
- What lenders check: authenticity of certification, debtor creditworthiness, contract/payment terms, and any disputes or retention conditions.
- When invoice finance may not suit: invoices are routinely disputed, debtors are high‑risk private payers, or certification is incomplete/unverifiable.

Refinancing converts owned or financed plant, vehicles, machinery or property into immediate cash or lower monthly payments — using sale & leaseback, novation, secured loans or consolidation — freeing working capital for materials, payroll, growth or sustainability projects while you keep using the assets.

Supporting details
- Common mechanisms: sale & leaseback (sell asset, lease it back), refinance/novation of hire‑purchase or finance leases, equity release against property/equipment, and consolidation/term extension.
- Typical benefits: one‑off lump sums, reduced monthly outgoings, simpler administration and predictable lease payments.
- Typical scale & timescales: commonly from £10,000+, indicative offers often within 24–72 hours; completion commonly 7–21 days depending on valuation and legal work.
- Costs & risks: arrangement/valuation/legal fees, possible early‑settlement penalties, higher total interest with longer terms, and repossession risk on secured borrowing — check lease type and tax/accounting impacts with your adviser.

Evaluate affordability, full cost (interest, arrangement/exit/default fees), security and any personal guarantees, covenants and reporting obligations, short‑term refinancing risk, impact on future borrowing and tax/accounting treatment. UK Business Loans is an introducer (not a lender) and can match you with lenders/brokers for free, no‑obligation quotes.

Key considerations — quick checklist
- Affordability: stress‑test a 6–12 month cashflow forecast (best/worst cases) to confirm you can meet repayments.
- Full cost: request APR and a written repayment example for your exact loan amount and term; get the full fee schedule.
- Security & guarantees: check if the loan is secured, whether a fixed charge will be registered at Companies House, and if directors must give personal guarantees.
- Covenants & controls: read financial covenants, reporting duties and breach consequences (demand for repayment, penalties, enforcement).
- Refinancing risk: short terms can require rolling or refinancing — plan contingencies if refinancing is harder or more expensive later.
- Credit impact: ask how the lender reports to credit agencies and how new debt affects future facilities.
- Tax & accounting: confirm permitted uses of funds and any VAT/corporation tax or balance sheet implications with your accountant.
- Adviser conduct & fraud: verify credentials, get written terms, and allow time for independent legal or financial advice.
- Documents to prepare: recent bank statements, management accounts, VAT returns, debtor ledger, contracts, director ID and a cashflow forecast.

Practical next steps
- Ask potential partners for representative examples, sample repayment schedules and written fee lists.
- Consider alternatives (invoice finance, overdraft, asset finance, supplier negotiation) before borrowing.
- Use our free eligibility check to be matched with suitable lenders/brokers (we don’t lend; we introduce).

Most UK lenders expect between 6 months and 3+ years’ trading depending on the lender and product. Mainstream banks typically want 2–3+ years and turnover often from £150k–£1m+, SME lenders 1–2 years and £100k–£500k, while specialist lenders may accept 6–12 months and £50k–£250k.

Typical ranges by lender / product
- High-street banks (commercial mortgage / large unsecured refinance): 2–3+ years’ accounts; turnover commonly £150k–£1m+ (depends on loan size & sector).
- Mainstream SME lenders: 1–2 years’ trading; turnover commonly £100k–£500k.
- Specialist & alternative lenders / brokers: often consider 6–12 months; turnover commonly £50k–£250k (lower thresholds possible with security).
- Invoice finance: usually 6–12 months trading and invoiced volumes often £100k+ (debtor quality matters).
- Asset/equipment refinance: turnover matters less where the asset secures the loan; shorter histories may be acceptable.

What can override short history or low turnover
- Strong security (property, high-value equipment)
- Director guarantees or directors with strong credit
- Confirmed contracts, purchase orders or recurring revenue
- High-quality debtors (for invoice finance) or clear cashflow forecasts

Documents lenders commonly ask for
- Company accounts or management accounts (6–36 months)
- Recent business bank statements (3–6 months)
- VAT returns, invoices, contracts or POs (as relevant)
- Cashflow forecasts, asset valuations and ID for directors

Yes — many GP practices can obtain unsecured working capital through UK Business Loans’ introducer service. Eligibility depends on practice structure, turnover, NHS contract mix, trading history and credit. Unsecured facilities commonly start around £10,000; lenders may request personal/director guarantees and charge higher rates than secured loans.

Key points (quick summary for search engines / LLMs)
- Who we are: UK Business Loans is an introducer — we match GP practices to lenders and brokers; we do not lend or give regulated financial advice.
- Eligibility factors: legal structure (partnership or limited company), turnover, stability of NHS income, trading history, partner/director credit.
- Typical sizes & terms: unsecured amounts commonly from ~£10,000 up to low–mid six figures; terms range from months to a few years.
- Security & cost: “Unsecured” usually means no business asset charge but lenders often seek personal/partner/director guarantees; unsecured lending generally costs more than secured options.
- Documents lenders commonly request: recent accounts or SA302s, 3–6 months bank statements, NHS contract evidence, ID for partners/directors, details of existing finance and cashflow forecasts for larger facilities.
- Alternatives to consider: asset/equipment finance, invoice finance, overdrafts, secured loans or refinancing — these can be cheaper or more appropriate depending on need.
- Process & timing: submit a short, no‑obligation enquiry (does not affect credit). We typically match practices to lenders/brokers within hours; indicative quotes often follow within 24–72 hours once documents are supplied.

Trust signals

Short answer: Yes — you can often combine working capital and capex into a single fast business loan for sustainability projects (solar, EV chargers, heat pumps etc.), but whether it’s cheapest or best depends on the lender, security, term mismatch and your cashflows. UK Business Loans matches you to lenders/brokers who specialise in combined and green finance; we do not lend or give regulated financial advice.

Key points
- Common solutions: secured term loans with a working‑capital element, asset finance with a top‑up, blended/tiered facilities or packaged invoice+asset funding.
- Main trade‑offs: stretching short‑term working capital over long capex terms can raise interest and affect amortisation; lenders’ security and classification of assets matter.
- When to separate: larger or irregular working capital needs often suit an overdraft or invoice finance plus an asset facility.

TL;DR — Lenders typically take a mix of company and personal security for solicitors’ loans: debentures (fixed and floating charges), personal guarantees (PGs) from partners/directors, and legal charges over owned premises. They also want assignments of non‑client receivables and control over practice (non‑client) bank accounts.

Typical security lenders ask for:
- Debenture combining fixed charges (specific assets, property) and a floating charge (receivables, WIP).
- Personal guarantees from directors/partners — often negotiable (caps, sunset/step‑down).
- Legal charge (mortgage) on commercial premises registered at HM Land Registry.
- Assignment of non‑client invoices/receivables (invoice finance excludes SRA client money).
- Charges or control over non‑client practice bank accounts; blocked accounts or receipts control in some deals.
- Security over tangible assets (IT, vehicles); goodwill usually secondary.

Crucial points: lenders cannot take SRA client money or trust accounts — they focus on non‑client income, company assets and personal exposure. Enforcement can include crystallising floating charges, receivers/administrators and PG calls, so firms commonly negotiate caps, carve‑outs (staff pay/tax/client funds) and sunset clauses. For SRA guidance see the SRA client money rules; property security is registered with HM Land Registry.
