In the UK, restaurant loan costs depend on product, security and credit.

- Unsecured business loans: 6%–25% APR; arrangement 0%–5%; early repayment charges possible. Good for short–medium working capital.
- Asset finance / hire purchase: 4%–12% (strong credit); admin fee, deposit or balloon payment; equipment acts as security.
- Merchant cash advance (MCA) / revenue finance: factor rates → effective APR often 30%–150%+; origination/trading fees; repayments taken from card sales. High cost — use cautiously.

- Bridging / short‑term: 6%–15% p.a.; arrangement 1%–3%; faster but more expensive.

A merchant cash advance (MCA) arranged via UK Business Loans is a lump sum you repay as a fixed multiple of the advance by giving the lender a percentage of your daily/weekly card takings until repaid. UK Business Loans introduces you to lenders/brokers who provide quotes and set terms — we do not lend.

How it works — key points
- Advance: a lender approves and advances a lump sum based on your recent card takings.
- Remittance/holdback: repayments are taken as an agreed percentage (e.g., 10–20%) of card receipts daily or weekly.
- Factor rate: total repayable is usually a fixed multiple (factor) of the advance (e.g., 1.25 = repay 25% extra).
- Repayment variability: repayments speed up in busy periods and slow in quiet periods; total repayable normally stays the same unless an early‑settlement discount applies.
- Integration: collections may be automated via your card processor, a split‑settlement gateway, or a third‑party processor — providers will explain changes to your merchant agreement.

What to compare and check
- Ask for: total repayable (£ figure), remittance percentage, typical time‑to‑repay based on your sales, all fees, and early settlement terms in writing.
- Don’t rely on APR alone — compare total cost and cashflow impact instead.
- Confirm who handles processor integration and responsibility for chargebacks/declines.

Who commonly qualifies
- Businesses with consistent card volumes (hospitality, retail, e‑commerce, leisure).
- Providers focus on predictable card receipts; trading history (6–12 months) and minimum average takings are typical requirements.

Pros and cons (brief)
- Pros: very fast access to cash; repayments flex with sales; accessible to businesses turned down by traditional banks.
- Cons: higher effective cost than many loans; daily/weekly deductions can strain cashflow; may require changes to card processing.

Yes — in many cases you can refinance equipment you already own using asset refinance or a sale‑and‑hire‑purchase‑back (sale‑and‑HP‑back). Which route suits you depends on ownership, asset age/condition and any existing finance. UK Business Loans introduces you to specialist lenders and brokers for a free eligibility check; enquiries do not affect your credit score. (Updated 1 Nov 2025)

What the two options mean
- Asset refinance: a lender advances funds secured against equipment you already own (can refinance existing asset finance or release equity).
- Sale‑and‑HP‑back: you sell the asset to a specialist funder then hire it back under a hire‑purchase agreement, releasing cash while you continue to use the asset.

When refinancing is likely to work
- You own the asset or have clear, assignable title.
- The asset has resale value (vehicles, plant, machinery).
- Your business turnover, trading history and documents meet lender requirements.
- Typical facilities start around £10,000.

When it’s unlikely
- Asset is very old, in poor condition or has little secondary-market demand.
- Existing finance cannot be assigned/settled or legal charges block refinancing.
- You cannot provide required documentation or insurance.

Typical costs & terms (summary)
- Interest and arrangement fees vary by lender and borrower profile.
- Valuation and possible early settlement fees may apply.
- HP terms commonly 12–60 months; longer terms possible for high-value plant.
- Every quote differs—use a specialist match for accurate offers.

How UK Business Loans helps (short)
1. You complete a short Get Quote form (2 minutes).
2. We match you to lenders/brokers specialising in your asset type.

Note: we are an introducer (not a lender) and receive a success-based fee only on completion.

Quick prep checklist
- Proof of ownership, purchase invoices or registration documents.
- Current finance statements (if any).
- Asset details & photos, service/maintenance records.
- Business accounts, recent bank statements and ID for directors.
- Insurance for the asset.

Q: In UK logistics, what are the standard financing terms for HGVs and equipment?
Short answer (30–60 words): Typical finance terms for HGVs and logistics equipment in the UK run from about 2–7 years. High‑usage or light vehicles usually sit at 2–5 years; heavier trucks, specialist kit or low‑mileage new units can be financed up to 7 years.

- Lenders set terms based on: asset age/useful life, mileage/use profile, residual value, maintenance history, deposit size, credit profile and sector specialism.
- Costs & structures: rates vary by risk; deposits typically 0–20%; balloon payments, fixed vs variable repayments and maintenance packages affect monthly cost and acceptable term length.
- Eligibility & paperwork: company accounts, bank statements, asset specs (age/mileage), ID for directors, VAT reg. Some specialist lenders accept shorter trading histories with different terms.

Yes. Invoice finance introduced through UK Business Loans is provided by third‑party funders under written facility/service agreements. These facilities commonly include notice periods or initial minimum terms (often 3–12 months) and may incur exit, administration or set‑up recovery charges depending on the provider. UK Business Loans only matches you with lenders/brokers.

Key points
- Contracts: Most funders require a signed facility or service agreement that sets out advance rates, fees, covenants, reporting and exit processes.
- Minimum terms/notice: Some agreements have an initial minimum term (commonly 3–12 months); others run on rolling notice (30–90 days).
- Exit/termination fees: Possible — could be a named exit fee or costs for administration, final audit or recovery of set‑up/legal fees. Policies vary by lender and product (factoring tends to be stricter than discounting).
- Our role: We do not lend. We match businesses (typically from ~£10,000) with lenders and brokers who will provide full, costed facility paperwork for you to review. Submitting an enquiry does not affect your credit score.

What to ask before you sign
- Can I see the full facility agreement and a plain‑English fee schedule?
- Is there an initial term or notice period, and how long is it?
- Are there exit or early termination charges — please show a worked example at 1/3/6/12 months.
- What security or guarantees are required and how are client/reserve funds handled on exit?

Not always. Many unsecured business loans can be provided without a personal guarantee, but lenders may ask for one depending on loan size, company trading history, credit profile, sector risk and available security. UK Business Loans is an introducer — we match you to lenders/brokers who’ll confirm PG requirements after a free eligibility check.

Key points
- When a PG is unlikely: smaller loans, long trading history, strong accounts/cashflow, or specialist no‑PG lenders.
- When a PG is more likely: new/early-stage companies, weak business credit, large unsecured amounts, high‑risk sectors, or lack of alternative security.
- What a PG is: a director’s personal promise to repay (can be unlimited, capped, joint & several or time‑limited).
- How we help: submit a short, no‑obligation enquiry (≈2 minutes) and we’ll introduce lenders/brokers who provide tailored quotes and confirm if a PG is required.
- How to improve chances of no‑PG: better accounts/forecasts, stronger credit history, asset- or invoice-backed finance, staged facilities, or negotiating limited/capped guarantees.

Key points

Yes — many UK printers can get unsecured working capital to cover paper, board and ink. Options include unsecured business loans, overdrafts/lines, merchant cash advances, invoice finance and short-term bridging. UK Business Loans is an introducer (not a lender) and can match you to specialist lenders/brokers.

Key points — page summary
- Typical products: unsecured term loans (usually from ~£10,000), arranged overdrafts/lines of credit, MCAs, invoice finance (advances on unpaid invoices), short-term bridging and asset finance for equipment.
- Amounts & terms: loans often start around £10k; term loans 1–5 years; invoice finance can release 70–90% of invoice value.
- Speed: MCAs and some short-term loans can fund in days; invoice finance and term loans usually take several days to weeks depending on documentation and checks.

Yes. Many lenders commonly ask for personal guarantees (PGs) on pub loans—especially for leasehold takeovers, first‑time operators, small loans with limited business assets, high LTVs or tied pubs. PGs are often negotiable (caps, time limits, release clauses) and alternatives or specialist lenders may reduce the need for them.

Key points (supporting details)
- When PGs are most likely: leasehold takeovers, small loans, weak trading history, adverse credit, brewery‑tied pubs or high LTVs.
- When PGs are less likely: large freehold purchases with conservative LTVs, experienced multi‑site operators, strong trading history.
- Common types: unlimited (full) PGs, capped guarantees, time‑limited guarantees, cross‑guarantees, and guarantees with property charges.
- Risks: personal assets (including homes) can be used if a charge is registered; ongoing liability; potential credit impact and legal costs.
- Ways to avoid/limit PGs: increase deposit/reduce LTV, offer alternative security, negotiate caps or sunset clauses, seek release on refinance, use an experienced broker.

Practical next steps
- Don’t sign immediately—request time for independent legal advice.
- Ask for written terms, caps, release conditions and whether a charge will be registered at Land Registry.
- Compare lenders: appetite for PGs varies—specialist brokers can often secure better terms.

Yes — many transport and logistics firms can use invoice finance to unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices to cover urgent fuel purchases and payroll. UK Business Loans connects you to specialist lenders and brokers who can assess eligibility, provide personalised quotes and arrange facilities (factoring or discounting) that suit your timing and confidentiality needs.

Quick summary
- What it does: Converts unpaid invoices into immediate working capital for any legitimate business cost, including diesel, fuel cards and wages.
- Types: Invoice factoring (lender may handle collections) vs invoice discounting (confidential, you keep collections).
- Speed & size: Many lenders can advance same or next working day after approval; advance rates typically 70–90% (illustrative).
- Costs: Fees vary by debtor risk and structure (indicative 0.5%–3% per invoice plus admin/interest; non-recourse is more expensive).
- Eligibility: Lenders assess trading history, turnover, debtor creditworthiness, invoices and basic company docs. Facilities usually suit businesses with regular invoice volumes.
- Risks/considerations: customer visibility (with factoring), concentration limits, notice/termination terms and changes to credit control processes.

Compare offers by standardising amounts and terms, converting headline rates and all fees into a single total cost (APR or total repayment), modelling the cashflow impact, and weighing non‑financial factors (security, covenants, speed and lender fit). Score and shortlist the top two offers, then negotiate with the lender/broker.

How to compare — quick checklist
- Standardise: adjust offers to the same principal and term for an apples‑to‑apples view.
- Total cost: convert interest + arrangement, legal, valuation and exit fees into APR or total repayment.
- Capitalise one‑off fees or annualise recurring charges so they’re comparable.
- Cashflow: model monthly repayments, identify seasonal pressure months and any bullet payments.
- Security & conditions: check collateral, personal guarantees, covenants and reporting requirements.
- Flexibility & speed: note top‑ups, redraws, payment holidays, and typical funding timelines.
- Lender fit: consider sector experience, responsiveness and future facility potential.
- Score & decide: eliminate unacceptable offers, score remaining ones (suggested weights: cost 40%, flexibility 30%, lender fit 30%), then speak to the top two to clarify and negotiate.

Mini decision framework
1. Eliminate offers with unacceptable security or restrictive covenants.
2. Score remaining offers using the weighted model.
3. Confirm by calling the top two lenders/brokers to finalise terms.

Short answer (30–60 words)
It depends. Engineering loans secured against high‑value machinery often don’t require a personal guarantee for established limited companies with strong accounts, but PGs are common for unsecured facilities, new businesses, weak credit profiles or where lenders need extra recourse.

Key points (quick summary)
- When PGs are less likely: asset/equipment finance or hire‑purchase where the lender can rely on the machine as primary security and the company has strong accounts.
- When PGs are more likely: unsecured loans, early‑stage businesses, weak balance sheets, invoice or contract finance with high risk, or where resale/repossession is difficult.
- Lender types: high‑street banks may waive PGs for creditworthy firms; specialist/alternative lenders and some asset financiers are more likely to require PGs depending on risk.
- Ways to reduce personal exposure: negotiate capped guarantees, sunset/release clauses, offer company assets instead, increase deposit or loan‑to‑value, use PG insurance, or work with a broker to find lenders with favourable terms.
- Practical next steps: prepare 2–3 years’ accounts or management accounts, cashflow forecasts, contract pipeline and asset details. Submitting an enquiry via UK Business Loans is free, quick and won’t affect your credit score — we introduce you to lenders and brokers (we do not lend).
- Legal note: this is general information, not legal advice — always have guarantee wording reviewed by a solicitor.
