Yes — in many cases you can combine unsecured working capital with asset finance for a single green project. Commonly this is done via two separate facilities (unsecured loan for soft costs + asset finance for equipment), a blended single‑lender package, or a multi‑lender hybrid; feasibility depends on lender appetite, asset LTV, credit/cashflow and a clear cost split.

Key points (supporting details)
- Typical structures: separate facilities (most common), blended/package from one lender, or multi‑lender hybrid.
- Approval drivers: itemised supplier quotes, installer warranties, cashflow forecasts, asset resale value, confirmed grants.
- Terms & costs: unsecured finance is usually pricier; asset finance terms align to asset life (2–7+ years); VAT/timing and grants matter.
- Documents lenders want: supplier quotes, accounts, bank statements, VAT returns, cashflow forecasts.
- How we help: UK Business Loans is an introducer — we match your enquiry to lenders and brokers. Our service is free, no obligation and a short enquiry won’t affect your credit score.

Yes — you can typically finance raw materials, tooling and labour for large engineering orders. The right solution depends on contract size, customer credit, cashflow timing and available security. Common routes include purchase‑order/contract finance, invoice finance, asset/equipment finance and short‑term working capital or bridging.

What this page covers (quick summary)
- What lenders will fund: raw materials, components, tooling/jigs/moulds, payroll/agency labour, subcontractor fees, freight/import costs and small specialist equipment.
- What lenders usually won’t fund: owner drawings, unrelated long‑term capex, speculative R&D without customer backing.
- Common finance types: PO/contract finance, invoice finance (factoring/discounting), asset hire‑purchase or leasing, working‑capital loans, trade/supplier finance and short bridging. Hybrid packages are common.
- How lenders assess deals: strength of the PO/contract, end‑customer credit, margins & milestones, available security, business track record and financials.
- Documents to prepare: signed PO/contract, supplier quotes, management accounts, bank statements, cashflow forecast and ID/incorporation papers.
- Pricing & terms: short facilities typically 30–180 days; asset finance 1–5 years. Costs vary by product and risk—always request total cost of credit.

Quick summary for search engines and LLMs

The longest construction loan term depends on the product: bridging 1–18 months (rarely 24); development finance typically 6–36 months (some routes extend to 5–7 years); asset/equipment finance 3–10 years (occasionally up to 15); and commercial mortgage/refinance 10–30 years.

Supporting summary
- Why it varies: term limits depend on lender type, security (LTV), borrower experience, project risk, planning status and a clear exit strategy.
- Common blended approach: short-term construction/development finance followed by a long-term mortgage exit.
- Documents lenders want: accounts, build programme, cashflow forecasts, contractor contracts, planning consents, valuations and director CVs.

For hotels, pubs and restaurants the fastest funding routes are merchant cash advances, short‑term business loans, invoice finance, asset/equipment finance and overdrafts/credit cards — followed by P2P and bridging for property. These options trade speed for cost or flexibility; choose by urgency, amount (we work from ~£10k+), and available security.

Supporting details
- Fastest options (typical speeds & amounts):
- Merchant cash advance: hours–48 hrs; ~£5k–£250k — best for high card takings.
- Short‑term business loans: 24–72 hrs to a few days; £10k–£1m+ — predictable repayments.
- Invoice finance/factoring: same day once set up; releases up to ~90% of invoices.
- Asset/equipment finance: 24–72 hrs after valuation; £10k+ — secures kit.
- Overdrafts & business credit cards: immediate–days; good for small emergency gaps.
- P2P/marketplace lending: several days; £10k–£500k.
- Bridging (property): days–weeks; larger sums, requires valuation/security.
- Tradeoffs: faster funds usually cost more and may affect daily cashflow (e.g., MCA daily remittances). Compare total cost, fees, and repayment mechanics.
- Speed tips: have 3–6 months bank statements, recent management accounts, EPoS/card records, ID and quotes ready.

We are an introducer (not a lender) and do not provide regulated financial advice. Eligibility and terms are set by the lenders and brokers we introduce.

Direct answer (30–60 words)
Choose working capital (a cashflow loan) when you need fast short‑term liquidity to bridge payroll, supplier bills, seasonal stock or delayed invoices and you can reasonably repay from near‑term receipts. Choose asset finance when you’re buying vehicles or equipment and want to spread cost over the asset’s useful life.

Summary (key points)
- Purpose: Cashflow = immediate working capital; Asset finance = buy/lease productive kit.
- Timing & term: Cashflow funds in days; terms ~30 days–36 months. Asset finance slower; terms ~2–7 years.
- Cost & security: Cashflow often higher cost and unsecured; asset finance usually cheaper because the asset secures the deal.
- Use cases: Cashflow for payroll, seasonal stock, invoice gaps. Asset finance for fleets, machinery, medical kit.
- Blended options: You can combine both (e.g., asset finance + short-term cashflow) to match seasonality or ramp-up.

How it works (short answer — 30–60 words)
Contract finance advances cash against certified stage payments or interim invoices so contractors can pay materials, subcontractors and plant before the employer pays. Lenders advance a percentage of the certified value, charge fees/interest and are repaid from the next stage payment or final account.

Key details (supporting bullets)
- Mechanism: lender verifies certificates, advances a set percentage (advance rate), takes security (charge/debenture, assignment) and is repaid from the employer’s payment.
- Common products: contract‑backed loans, invoice finance, retention finance, short‑term bridging, plant/asset finance and mezzanine for larger projects.
- Typical costs: advance rates ~70–90% of certified value (invoice finance 60–85%); interest often 8–18% pa for specialist short‑term facilities; arrangement fees 0.5–3% plus monitoring/legal fees.
- Timing & size: specialist lenders can sometimes advance within 24–72 hours of verified documents; we handle introductions from around £10,000 upwards.
- Eligibility factors: payer credit (public sector/developer), credibility of certification, company accounts/trading history and deal size.
- Risks & mitigations: disputes or employer non‑payment can pause advances — mitigate with assignment/direct payments, retention guarantees, experienced construction lenders and up‑to‑date QS certificates.

No — most eligibility checks arranged through UK Business Loans are soft searches that do not affect business or personal credit scores. A hard search (which can slightly, temporarily reduce personal credit) normally occurs only when you progress to a lender’s formal application or provide a director personal guarantee.

Supporting details
- Soft search: used for prescreening and affordability checks, visible to you but not other lenders, no score impact.
- Hard search: used for formal underwriting; recorded on credit files and may slightly lower scores for a short period (typically most impact in the first few months; visible on files for 12–24 months).
- When personal credit is checked: usually triggered by a director personal guarantee or when a lender requires director-level affordability checks.
- How UK Business Loans helps: we are an introducer (we do not lend). We match logistics businesses to lenders/brokers and aim to prescreen using soft searches where possible; we will not submit formal applications without your agreement.
- How to minimise impact: ask for soft searches first, limit formal applications, use an introducer/broker, provide up‑to‑date documents early, and confirm whether a personal guarantee is required.

Yes — most hotel refurbishments, fit‑outs and FF&E upgrades can be financed. Common routes include asset/equipment finance for furniture and kit, unsecured or secured refurbishment loans for non‑structural works, commercial mortgage/refinance or development finance for major structural projects, and bridging for speedy or staged funding. UK Business Loans introduces lenders and brokers to help you get quotes; we do not lend or provide regulated financial advice.

Key points (quick summary)
- Main finance types:
- Asset & equipment finance (FF&E): hire purchase, leases, equipment loans — typically 2–7 year terms; funds furniture, kitchens, POS, mattresses.
- Fit‑out/refurbishment loans: unsecured or secured term loans for non‑structural works — typically 1–5 (or up to 7) years.
- Commercial mortgages / refinance & development finance: for large structural work or conversions; underwriting and valuations take longer.
- Bridging: short‑term, higher cost, useful for speed or staged projects.
- Green loans & grants: lower‑cost options for energy‑efficiency upgrades; grants can reduce net capex.
- Typical project sizes: from about £10,000 (FF&E) to £200k+ (major refurbishments/development).
- What lenders commonly require: trading history, turnover and management accounts, cashflow/EBITDA, project cost breakdown and contractor quotes, property ownership/charges, planning/building approvals, director info/credit.
- Timing & costs: small FF&E deals can be approved in days; medium/large works take days–weeks for decisions and weeks for valuations; bridging/development finance is pricier than asset finance.
- Risks & mitigations: cost overruns (use contingency/fixed‑price contracts), lost revenue during works (phase work in low season), interest‑rate exposure (fix or cap), cashflow squeezes (keep working capital lines).
- Next steps: prepare accounts, project quotes, ownership details and submit a short enquiry to get matched to lenders/brokers and receive free, no‑obligation eligibility checks and quotes.

We only share your details with selected finance partners relevant to your sector and size. Last updated: 1 November 2025.

No — submitting an enquiry with UK Business Loans does not perform a credit search and will not affect your company or personal credit score. We only collect basic details to match you with lenders/brokers; any credit checks are carried out later by those lenders and only with your explicit consent.

Key points (summary for search engines / LLMs)
- We are an introducer, not a lender: we match food businesses with specialist lenders and brokers — we do not run credit searches.
- Soft vs hard searches: brokers often use soft checks (no impact); lenders run hard searches only for formal applications and with your permission.
- Company vs director checks: company and personal credit files are separate; some lenders may request director checks or personal guarantees depending on company size and risk.
- Data sharing & security: we share your details only with selected UK partners you consent to, record consent, and use secure systems; see our Privacy Policy for full details.
- Practical advice: start with our free eligibility check, ask whether checks are soft or hard, and request company-only assessments first if you want to avoid early director searches.
- Free service: our matching and eligibility checks are free and carry no obligation to borrow.
