Yes — many MCA providers will advance funds to D2C food brands based on card takings if your payment processor records show consistent sales, low chargebacks and at least a short trading history. MCAs are fast and flexible but often more expensive than traditional loans.

Key points
- How it works: lender verifies PSP (Stripe, Shopify Payments, PayPal, Worldpay) or bank statements, offers a lump sum and collects a fixed percentage of card receipts or fixed debits until a factor-based total is repaid.
- Typical eligibility: consistent monthly card takings (commonly £5k–£20k+), 3–12 months trading, low refund/chargeback rates, and access to PSP statements or API.
- Costs & terms: priced via a factor (e.g., 1.2–1.5) rather than APR; faster repayment raises effective cost; smaller or higher-risk accounts pay more.
- Pros/cons: very fast funding and sales-focused underwriting vs higher cost and variable daily/weekly collections that can affect cashflow.
- Prepare to apply: gather 3–6 months PSP and bank statements, document chargeback rates, state intended use of funds, and check company/director details.

Yes — many agricultural and food businesses can secure quick funding for solar, water‑efficiency and LED projects, and smaller biomass installs; speed depends on project size, installer quotes and company finances.

Yes — you can often secure funding for a pub on a brewery tie or tied lease, but lenders treat these businesses differently. They adjust margins for tied supply costs and closely review the tie terms, remaining lease length, and security before offering mortgages, loans or specialist hospitality finance.

What lenders focus on:
- Lease & tie details (products tied, price uplifts, break clauses, assignability)
- Adjusted profitability (wet vs food sales, seasonality)
- Security & valuation (freehold easier than short leaseholds)
- Operator experience and cashflow forecasts

Common funding routes:
- Commercial mortgage (for freeholds or with freeholder security)
- Secured business loans and asset/fit-out finance
- Invoice/merchant finance, bridging or specialist hospitality lending

How UK Business Loans helps:
- We introduce you to brokers and lenders who understand tied pubs
- Free, no‑obligation eligibility check (expect initial feedback within 48 hours)
- We do not lend or provide regulated advice — lenders make any offers

Yes — cashflow loans can be a fast, flexible solution for many limited companies and LLPs to bridge working-capital gaps, fund seasonal peaks or cover short-term delays. Suitability depends on trading history, revenue predictability, security/guarantee requirements and the specific product chosen. We match businesses to lenders/brokers for loans from about £10,000+.

Key points (quick summary)
- Likely suitable if you’ve traded ~12+ months, have predictable invoices or revenue and need short–to–medium term funds (1–24 months).
- Less suitable for pre‑revenue companies, highly irregular receipts or long‑term structural losses.
- Common products: overdrafts/revolving credit, short‑term loans, invoice finance (factoring/discounting), MCAs and asset‑backed facilities — each has different costs and risks.
- Lenders typically ask for 3–6 months bank statements, management/company accounts, turnover evidence and may request director/partner guarantees (LLPs often face additional guarantee requirements).
- Main risks: high effective costs (especially repeated MCAs), personal guarantees, and using short‑term finance to cover long‑term problems.

Direct answer (30–60 words)
Yes. Equipment finance commonly covers EV chargepoints, installation, cabling and associated load‑management hardware. Software sold as a capital licence or bundled with hardware is often fundable; recurring SaaS subscriptions are usually treated as operating costs and funded separately. UK Business Loans matches you to specialist lenders and brokers — we don’t lend.

Key points (quick scan)
- Financeable: chargers, site electrics, installation, first‑year software bundled with hardware.
- Sometimes financeable: perpetual/on‑prem licences, battery storage tied to chargers.
- Less likely: ongoing SaaS subscriptions unless contract is long, assignable and treated as capital.
- Typical terms: 2–7 years (depends on asset life and lender).
- Projects from around £10,000 upwards; grants can reduce the financed amount.
- Submitting an enquiry is free, not an application, and won’t affect your credit score.

Direct answer (30–60 words)
Rates depend on product, security and your practice’s financial profile. Indicative ranges via UK Business Loans: unsecured 6–30% APR (1–5 yrs); secured/commercial property 3–12% (3–25 yrs); asset finance 4–15% (1–7 yrs); invoice finance 0.5–3% per invoice/month; overdrafts/lines 6–25% (revolving). We introduce practices (from ~£10,000) to lenders for tailored quotes.

Supporting details
- Unsecured business loans: 6%–30% APR, typical terms 1–5 years; director guarantees may be required for larger amounts.
- Secured/commercial property mortgages: 3%–12% (fixed or variable), terms commonly 3–25 years (mortgages often amortised over 15–25 years); lower LTV = better rates.
- Asset/equipment finance: 4%–15%; usually structured as hire purchase or lease over 1–7 years.
- Invoice finance/factoring: fees ~0.5%–3% of invoice value per month plus facility/setup fees; rolling facility rather than fixed term.
- Overdrafts/short-term lines: effectively 6%–25% depending on provider and utilisation; revolving facility.
- Bridging/merchant cash advances: short-term and usually more expensive (bridging ~0.4%–2% per month; MCA/APR can be 30%+); use with caution.

What affects pricing
- Legal structure, trading history, turnover/profitability, company and director credit, client concentration, recurring revenue, security offered (property/debenture), term length and requirement for personal guarantees.

Note: UK Business Loans is an introducer only; any finance offer comes directly from the lender or broker.

Short answer (direct): Yes — often. Hotel owners can usually refinance to lower monthly payments or consolidate multiple debts, but outcomes depend on property value (LTV), trading performance (RevPAR, occupancy, EBITDA), existing loan penalties and lease terms. A free eligibility check shows realistic options for your hotel.

Supporting summary
- Typical solutions: commercial re-mortgage, business term loan to consolidate, bridging or mezzanine for short-term needs, asset finance for FFE.
- What lenders review: valuation/LTV, historic and forecast trading, accounts and cashflow, existing loan schedule (early repayment charges and covenants), leasehold details and director credit.
- Key trade-offs: extending term or moving to interest-only lowers monthly cost but raises total interest; consolidating unsecured into secured borrowing can reduce payments but increases property risk.
- Costs & timing: expect arrangement/valuation/legal/broker fees and possible ERCs; standard remortgages usually take 6–12 weeks, bridging can be much faster.
