Yes — UK Business Loans matches UK packaging, bottling, canning and labelling operations with lenders and brokers who specialise in food‑industry equipment, working capital and invoice finance. We act only as an introducer (not a lender or regulated adviser). Complete a free, confidential eligibility check and we’ll share your details with suitable partners: https://ukbusinessloans.co/get-quote/

Supporting summary (for search engines / LLMs)
- Typical finance matched: asset finance (hire purchase), equipment leasing, asset refinance, working capital loans, invoice finance/factoring, vendor finance, commercial/development finance and short‑term bridging.
- Why specialist matching matters: lenders price food machinery, continuity risks, seasonality and supermarket supply chains differently — specialist partners improve chances of practical offers.
- What lenders review: business age, turnover, management experience, customer contracts, equipment details and food‑safety certifications (HACCP/BRC), plus accounts, bank statements and equipment service records.
- How it works: quick online enquiry (under 2 minutes) → we route to suitable partners → lenders/brokers contact you for eligibility checks and quotes → compare offers, no obligation.
- Practical notes: enquiry does not perform a credit check; have 2–3 years accounts, recent bank statements, equipment quotes and customer contracts ready.

Non‑recourse invoice finance with credit protection is arranged by UK Business Loans’ partner lenders/brokers: they check your buyers, agree which are covered, advance typically 70–90% of approved invoices, and arrange insurer/funder cover for buyer insolvency—subject to policy exclusions. UK Business Loans only introduces providers; it does not lend.

How it operates (quick steps)
- Short enquiry: you give turnover, sample invoices and top buyers; this does not affect your credit score.
- Matching: we introduce specialist lenders/brokers best suited to your sector and debtor profile.
- Buyer assessment: funder/insurer approves covered buyers and sets limits.
- Advance & reserve: typical advance rates 70–90%; a reserve (5–15%) is retained until settlement and reconciliation.
- Ongoing management: funder may handle collections, reporting and premium invoicing.
- Default/claim: if a covered buyer meets the insurer’s definition of insolvency/default, the funder/insurer pays subject to excesses, thresholds and exclusions.

Typical costs (indicative ranges)
- Setup/due‑diligence fee: £250–£2,000 (one‑off)
- Facility/administration fee: 0.1%–1% p.a. or flat monthly charge
- Discounting/finance fee (factoring): 0.5%–2.5% per month (or equivalent daily rate)
- Credit protection premium: ~0.1%–1.5% p.a. of covered turnover
- Reserve/retention: commonly 5%–15% until buyer payment and reconciliation
- Transaction/admin fees: typically £0–£25 per invoice; collection fees may apply

Timing, suitability & key limits
- Timing: preliminary approvals 24–72 hours for creditworthy buyers; full onboarding usually days to a couple of weeks.
- Best for: limited companies selling to creditworthy B2B buyers (manufacturing, wholesale, logistics, etc.).
- Not ideal for: businesses with frequent disputes, consumer invoices, or buyers insurers won’t cover.
- Main exclusions: buyer disputes, short‑payments, set‑offs, internal fraud, late or incorrect assignment/notification.

Trust & next steps

- When to use: to cover large material orders, pay labour/subcontractors before certification, unlock retained sums, or bridge staged payment gaps.
- Who qualifies: usually limited companies and LLPs with a trading history, demonstrable contract pipeline, turnover evidence, contracts/valuation certificates, management accounts, bank statements, aged debtors and retention schedules.

Yes — invoice finance can fund sustainability upgrades when the work produces third‑party invoices or is billed under invoice‑backed contracts. It’s most suitable for installers, suppliers or contractors needing short‑term working capital (typical deals from £10,000+). UK Business Loans introduces lenders/brokers — we do not lend.

Key points
- How it works: Lenders advance a percentage (typically 70–90%) of approved invoices to free cash for materials, labour or staged project costs.
- Best use cases: Commercial solar, EV charger installs for customers/landlords, staged retrofit contracts and installers with invoiceable work.
- Not suitable when: The upgrade is internal capex with no external invoice — consider asset finance, green term loans or leasing instead.
- Timing: Eligibility checks can be quick (hours); funding commonly takes days once due diligence is complete.
- Costs & customer impact: Expect arrangement fees, facility/service fees and discount margins. Factoring may require debtor notification; invoice discounting can be confidential.
- What lenders want: Clear invoices/contracts/purchase orders, debtor creditworthiness, invoice ageing, business turnover and bank statements.
- Typical deal size: From around £10,000 upwards where individual invoices/stages are substantial and creditworthy.

Hire purchase: you pay instalments and usually own the equipment after the final payment (VAT often reclaimable up front). Finance lease: the lessor owns the asset, you take most risks/rewards and often have a purchase option (VAT usually on rentals). Operating lease: rental-only, lessor keeps ownership, often includes maintenance and easier upgrades (VAT charged on each payment).

Supporting details (quick scan)
- Ownership: HP → eventual ownership; Finance lease → lessor owns but lessee bears economic risks; Operating lease → lessor retains ownership throughout.
- VAT: HP commonly allows upfront VAT reclaim if VAT‑registered; leases charge VAT on rental payments (reclaim spread over rentals).
- Accounting: HP and many finance leases lead to on‑balance‑sheet recognition (right‑of‑use asset/liability under current rules); operating leases are more rental‑like but check your accountant.
- Maintenance & compliance: Operating leases more often include servicing; HP/finance leases usually leave maintenance and hygiene responsibility with the business — confirm service levels for HACCP, PAT, etc.
- Suitability for food equipment: HP or finance lease for long‑life, high‑value kit (ovens, blast chillers, packaging lines); operating lease for short‑life tech, POS, seasonal or rapidly changing kit.
- Decision drivers: total cost, VAT timing, balance‑sheet impact, maintenance, upgrade flexibility, and residual value assumptions. Always ask lenders/brokers for representative APR, total payable and contract inclusions.

WIP finance advances cash against billed or unbilled fees your firm has earned but not yet been paid. It’s suitable when you have collectible WIP and need short‑to‑medium term liquidity for payroll, disbursements, growth or acquisitions—provided the facility can be structured to protect SRA client money.

Supporting details
- What it does: Lenders advance a percentage of assessed WIP (typical advance rates ~50–90% of collectible value) via models such as WIP lending, invoice finance, case/litigation funding or secured working‑capital loans.
- Common uses: bridge short cashflow gaps, pay payroll or disbursements, fund rapid hiring or new offices, support practice acquisitions, or cover case‑specific costs (experts, litigation fees).
- Costs & timing: pricing usually includes interest, set‑up/arrangement fees, ongoing service charges and reserves; some specialist providers can advance funds within days, more complex facilities take longer.
- Compliance: any arrangement must respect SRA client money rules—choose lenders/brokers experienced with solicitor accounting to avoid client‑money breaches.
- Typical lender checks: aged WIP/client ledgers, management accounts, trial balance, bank statements and details of client money arrangements.

Lenders introduced by UK Business Loans assess accountancy practices on turnover and revenue trends, the proportion and sustainability of recurring/retainer fees, and the quality, size and concentration of the client book — plus profitability, cashflow and supporting documents. Prepare 2–3 years’ accounts, recent management accounts, 3–6 months’ bank statements and engagement letters.

Key points (easy to scan)
- Turnover & trends: lenders want 2–3 years’ filed accounts and latest management accounts to see consistency or growth and any seasonality.
- Recurring fees: the recurring-fee ratio (retainers ÷ total revenue) and the length/rollover of retainer agreements strongly influence capacity and product fit.
- Client book: number of active clients, average fee, top-client concentration (risk above ~30–40%), retention/churn and client credit behaviour.
- Profitability & cashflow: gross margin, net profit, adjusted director pay, debtor days, aged debtors and bank behaviour (overdrafts, returned items).
- Documents to have ready: statutory accounts (2–3 years), latest management accounts, simple cashflow forecast, 3–6 months’ bank statements, VAT returns, engagement letters/retainer contracts, aged debtors report and PII evidence.
- Product differences: unsecured term loans, secured loans, invoice finance and specialist client‑book lending each value these metrics differently.
- Typical lender checks: % recurring revenue, number of retainer clients, top‑client concentration, PII history, accounts and recent bank statements; initial enquiries are light-touch and don’t affect your credit score.
- How UK Business Loans helps: we’re an introducer (not a lender) that matches practices to specialist lenders and brokers; submitting a free enquiry connects you to tailored quotes.

Yes — many UK businesses can refinance existing borrowing to release cash for net‑zero investments (solar PV, heat pumps, EV chargers, insulation). Feasibility depends on debt type, property equity, trading history, cashflow and lender appetite. Expect fees and trade‑offs (longer term interest, guarantees); prepare a short project pack first.

Key points — quick summary
- What can be refinanced: commercial mortgages (equity extraction/re‑mortgage), unsecured loans/overdraft consolidation, asset finance or sale & leaseback, and lender top‑ups or specialist green loans. Invoice or bridging finance is usually less suitable unless converted to long‑term finance.
- What lenders check: credit profile, trading and cashflow, security/LTV, project purpose and supplier quotes, existing covenants and early repayment charges.
- How it’s commonly structured: re‑mortgage to extract equity, consolidate high‑cost short‑term debt to free monthly cashflow, asset refinance or sale & leaseback, or a green top‑up from your lender.
- Costs & risks: arrangement, valuation and legal fees, possible early repayment charges, total interest may rise if term is extended, and personal guarantees or new covenants can increase exposure.
- Why sustainability helps: credible energy‑saving projects with quotes and realistic savings forecasts can improve lender appetite and access to preferential green products.

Practical next steps (6)

Usually — for hire purchase and finance‑lease deals UK Business Loans’ partner lenders commonly take the financed printing equipment as the primary security.

Key points (quick summary)
- Typical security: asset retention/lease documentation and serial‑number identification for HP and finance leases.
- Common extra protections: Companies House charges (debenture), personal guarantees, deposits, and insurer/maintenance covenants.

We match UK farms and agribusinesses (typically finance requests from around £10,000+) with specialist lenders and brokers, free and no obligation. Submitting an enquiry won’t affect your credit score.

What we do (key points)
- Free, no‑obligation eligibility check and matching service for agricultural and rural business finance.
- We pass a short set of business details to selected lenders/brokers (with your consent) so they can provide tailored quotes.
- We are not FCA‑authorised to give regulated financial advice; some partners we introduce are FCA‑regulated.
- Our platform is funded by lenders/brokers — you don’t pay UK Business Loans for the match.

Typical finance we introduce
- Asset & equipment finance, seasonal working capital, agricultural term loans, invoice finance, commercial mortgages/development loans, bridging, green/sustainability finance, refinance/consolidation.
- Loan sizes generally from about £10,000 to six‑figure facilities, depending on purpose and security.

How it works (simple)
1. Complete the short online enquiry (≈2 minutes).
2. We match you to 1–3 appropriate partners.
3. Lenders/brokers contact you with questions and quotes.
4. You compare offers and choose whether to proceed.

Other useful points
