Direct answer (30–60 words)
Yes — most cashflow loans can be repaid early, but terms vary. Some lenders (and many MCA or invoice‑finance providers) charge early repayment or buy‑out fees; others allow penalty‑free exits after a set period. UK Business Loans introduces you to lenders/brokers so you can compare settlement figures before committing.

Supporting summary (key points)
- What a cashflow loan is: short‑to‑medium term working‑capital facilities (term loans, overdrafts, invoice finance, MCAs, revolving lines).
- Early repayment: typically possible for term loans, overdrafts and revolvers; invoice finance and MCAs often need notice, retentions or a buy‑out.
- Fee types: fixed % ERCs, sliding scales, flat admin fees, retention/termination charges, or high MCA buy‑out sums.
- Do introduced lenders charge fees? Many do — but amounts and rules are shown in the contract and Fee Schedule. Always ask for a written redemption/settlement figure.
- Important checks before paying: request a written settlement statement valid to a date; confirm it includes fees/VAT; check notice periods, security release steps, and that the facility will be formally closed.
- How UK Business Loans helps: we introduce businesses (we don’t lend or give regulated advice), obtain and compare settlement quotes, and match you with lenders or brokers experienced in your sector and loan size.

Practical tip
Compare the interest you’ll save against any early repayment charge — sometimes partial prepayment or refinancing is cheaper than a full early settlement.

If your invoices and buyers qualify, invoice finance can be arranged and funds released within 24–48 hours using spot factoring or fast funders. Ongoing facilities typically take 3–14 business days to set up; complex cases needing legal security or dealing with concentrated debtors can take 2–4 weeks.

Supporting details
- Typical speeds by product:
- Spot factoring (one‑off): same‑day to 48 hours.
- Ongoing factoring: 3–7 business days to set up via a fast broker; then 24–48 hours per invoice.
- Invoice discounting: usually 5–14 business days to set up; 24–48 hours thereafter.
- When funds arrive: lenders commonly advance 70–90% of an invoice once it’s validated; the remaining reserve is released after the customer pays (less fees).
- What speeds things up: ready documents, diversified & creditworthy debtors, no prior charges, and an experienced broker.
- What slows things: debtor concentration, export/international buyers, disputed invoices, existing debentures or required legal searches.
- Costs: discount/service rates, set‑up and admin fees, legal/search costs — vary by lender and debtor risk. Always compare quotes.

Yes — but only in specific cases. Small, standardised products such as some invoice‑finance draws, automated unsecured loans, merchant cash advances and certain asset finance deals can be arranged within 24–48 hours if paperwork is complete and there are no SRA or client‑money complications. Larger, secured or complex facilities usually take days to weeks.

Supporting summary
- Fastest products: invoice finance (repeat draws), automated unsecured lenders, merchant cash advances, some asset finance — realistic: 24–48 hours to 3 days for well‑prepared firms.
- Slower products: bridging, litigation funding, property‑secured loans and first‑time invoice facilities — typically several days to weeks.
- Key speed factors: smaller amounts, simple product, existing lender relationship, complete accounts/bank statements, clear retainer/invoice evidence, AML/KYC readiness and no client‑account complications.
- Practical checklist to prepare: 12–24 months filed accounts, recent management accounts, 3–6 months bank statements, sample invoices/retainers, director IDs, details of existing borrowing, title deeds/quotes if offering security.
- Risks & trade‑offs: faster finance often costs more, may require personal guarantees, can create short‑term repayment pressure and compliance risks if SRA rules aren’t respected.
- How we help: UK Business Loans is an introducer — we do not lend or provide regulated advice. Complete our free, non‑binding enquiry and we’ll match you to lenders/brokers who specialise in solicitor finance; filling the form does not affect your credit score (lenders may run checks only if you progress an application).

Yes — many lenders and specialist brokers will consider vehicle finance for newly incorporated businesses or companies with limited trading history. Approvals commonly rely on director credit, a larger deposit or initial rental, signed contracts or forecasts, and the vehicle as security; terms may include higher rates or personal guarantees.

Key points
- What lenders check: directors’ personal credit and experience, deposit/equity, bank statements, contracts/POs, cashflow forecasts and the vehicle’s residual value.
- Common finance types: Hire Purchase (HP), Finance Lease, Chattel Mortgage/asset finance and fleet packages — each affects ownership, VAT and balance-sheet treatment.
- How to improve chances: provide ID and 3–6 months’ statements, signed work in the pipeline, a higher deposit, conservative vehicle choice and use an experienced broker.
- Timescales & costs: brokers often return indicative quotes within 24–72 hours; formal offers can take days to a couple of weeks. New companies typically face higher rates and larger deposits; UK Business Loans usually helps with deals from around £10,000 upward.

Yes — many of the lenders and brokers UK Business Loans introduces do provide staged drawdowns tied to refurbishment milestones (especially development/refurbishment finance, fit‑out finance, bridging loans and specialist commercial mortgages). Approval and the release schedule depend on loan type, security, contractor quality and strong project documentation.

Key points (summary for search engines / LLMs)
- When offered: common for development/refurbishment, fit‑outs (retail, hospitality, offices), bridging loans with a refurbishment element, and some commercial mortgage top‑ups or contractor‑backed finance.
- How it works: pre‑approval and QS cost plan → agreed milestone schedule → evidence (invoices, photos, certificates, interim QS valuation) → funds released to contractor or borrower → final retention on practical completion.
- Documents lenders expect: detailed cost plan (QS preferred), fixed‑price contractor contracts, project programme, planning/building control approvals, property title/valuations, company accounts and cashflow forecasts, and evidence packs for each drawdown stage.
- Typical lender criteria: first charge/security, experienced insured contractors, independent interim valuations/QS sign‑offs, contingency for overruns and clarity on VAT funding; personal guarantees may be required for smaller businesses.
- Pros & cons: reduces lender risk and improves cost control; but adds inspection fees, administration, possible payment delays and retention amounts.
- Practical tips: use fixed‑price contracts, obtain an independent QS, define clear milestones in contracts and agree whether lender pays contractor directly.

Typically expect a deposit of around 15–40%+ of the purchase price: stronger freehold pubs can be financed at higher LTVs (60–85% giving deposits ~15–40%), while leasehold, tied or weaker trading pubs often need 35–50%+ deposits. Lenders usually take a first legal charge on the property plus additional security (director guarantees, fixed/floating charges, debentures).

Supporting details (quick scan)
- Typical LTV/deposit ranges:
- Established, profitable freehold: LTV ~60–85% → deposit ~15–40%
- Leasehold/tied or average trading: LTV ~50–65% → deposit ~35–50%+
- Refurbishment: often short-term bridging (higher cost) then refinance
- Common security: first legal charge (mortgage) on title or lease, assignment of lease for leaseholds, personal guarantees, fixed/floating charges over stock/equipment/goodwill, debentures.
- Alternatives: bridging loans, mezzanine/second-charge finance, vendor finance, asset finance, specialist pub lenders.
- Prepare to improve terms: 3 years’ accounts, management accounts, CVs, business plan and cashflow, RICS/market valuation, clear title/lease, refurbishment quotes.
- Costs to budget: valuation, solicitor fees, lender arrangement fees, broker fees, and SDLT.

Yes — most building services business loans can be repaid early (full or partial), but whether you can and whether you’ll pay fees depends on the finance type and your contract. Always get a written settlement figure showing ERCs, admin, legal and expiry before you pay.

Key points (summary)
- Which products: unsecured loans, secured/property loans, asset finance (HP/leases), invoice finance and merchant cash advances all treat early repayment differently.
- Typical fees: ERCs may be a fixed % (0–4% common), months’ interest, an interest shortfall, or specific exit/admin/legal costs; leases often carry termination penalties.
- Practical steps: request a written settlement figure and expiry date; calculate net savings (interest saved minus ERCs and third‑party fees); keep working capital for ongoing contracts.
- How we help: UK Business Loans is an introducer — we match building services firms to lenders and brokers who can provide settlement figures, compare refinancing options and advise on reducing fees.

Last updated: 29 October 2025 — UK Business Loans (introducer; not a lender).

Short answer (30–60 words)
Yes — many legal‑aid and claimant‑focused firms can access business loans and revolving credit, but eligibility isn’t automatic. Lenders look at the quality and assignability of invoices/WIP, SRA client‑money compliance, revenue mix and the firm’s track record. Specialist invoice financiers, litigation funders and alternative lenders often consider these firms when retainer/assignment issues are resolved.

Why this matters (key points)
- Best prospects: established LLPs/limited companies with consistent turnover, collectable billed invoices or proven WIP conversion and clear client‑money separation.
- Common finance types: revolving credit/overdrafts, invoice/WIP finance, litigation/retainer funding, asset finance and short‑term bridging.
- What lenders check: revenue mix (legal‑aid vs contingent vs commercial), aged debt/WIP, retainer wording (assignment), SRA accounts handling, security/guarantees and AML/KYC.
- Red flags: majority contingency‑only income without conversion history, prolonged aged legal‑aid receivables, mixed client/office funds or unclear assignment rights.
- Improve eligibility: provide 12–24 months’ management accounts, debtor/WIP schedules, standard retainer templates, bank statements showing segregated accounts and evidence of credit‑control. Work with a specialist broker experienced in SRA issues.

Practical note and next step
UK Business Loans is an introducer (we do not lend or give regulated financial advice). Submitting our free 2‑minute enquiry does not affect your credit score — we match you to lenders/brokers who understand solicitors’ SRA constraints.

We share a compact business profile with selected lenders and brokers so they can give tailored cashflow loan quotes: contact details, company basics (name, number, address), funding amount & purpose, turnover/monthly bank bands, months trading and director names.

What’s typically shared

Short answer
Yes. Business Contract Hire (BCH) commonly offers an optional “fully maintained” product that bundles servicing, MOT, tyres and breakdown cover into the monthly rental. Finance Lease rarely includes maintenance as standard, but cover can usually be arranged separately through the lessor, a broker or a third‑party supplier.

Key points (quick)
- BCH: maintained or unmaintained options; maintained deals roll servicing and related costs into one monthly payment.
- Finance Lease: maintenance is typically the lessee’s responsibility but can be added via separate contracts or broker packages.
- Cost drivers: vehicle make/model, annual mileage, cover level and driver profiles.
- Benefits of maintenance: predictable costs, lower admin, access to approved repairers; trade‑offs include higher monthly payments and possible servicing restrictions.

Direct answers (30–60 words each)
- Are maintenance packages offered with Business Contract Hire or Finance Lease?
Yes — BCH commonly offers optional fully maintained packages. Finance Lease does not usually include maintenance by default, but many lenders, brokers or third parties can provide separate maintenance contracts.

- Is a maintenance package available with Business Contract Hire or Finance Lease?
With BCH it’s readily available and selected at quote stage. With Finance Lease, maintenance is available but is typically arranged separately (via the financier, a broker or an external supplier).

- Are maintenance options available on Business Contract Hire or Finance Lease agreements?
BCH agreements are often sold as maintained or unmaintained. Finance Lease options are less standardised but can be sourced; brokers frequently bundle maintenance into overall vehicle funding solutions.

- Can maintenance packages be added to a Business Contract Hire or Finance Lease?
BCH: you normally choose maintained or unmaintained when you quote. Finance Lease: yes, you can add maintenance via a separate contract or by asking a broker to include it in your package.

- Do Business Contract Hire or Finance Lease deals offer maintenance packages?
BCH frequently offers maintenance as an optional add‑on. Finance Lease deals less commonly include maintenance by default, but maintenance packages are widely available through brokers and third‑party suppliers.

What to check and next steps
- Ask for a detailed maintenance schedule, exclusions, approved repairer network, excess wear policy and replacement vehicle terms.
- Provide accurate mileage, driver details and vehicle specs when requesting quotes to get realistic costs.

Yes — often. When UK Business Loans introduces you to specialist lenders and brokers, a Decision in Principle (DIP) for fit‑out finance can frequently be issued within hours or 1–3 business days, depending on the lender and how complete your initial information is. Start with a free eligibility check.

Key points (quick summary)
- What a DIP is: a non‑binding, conditional indication of likely approval (indicative amount, rough terms) pending full checks.
- How we speed things: short focused enquiry, smart matching to fit‑out specialists, and minimal initial checks so lenders can respond quickly.
- Typical timescales: same day to 1–3 business days for a DIP; full offers and funding often follow in 7–14 days (varies by case).
- Who usually qualifies: established SMEs (often 12+ months trading), limited companies/partnerships with basic accounts and reasonable credit; some specialist lenders consider younger businesses.
- Docs that speed a DIP: amount required, turnover/trading months, contractor quotes/cost breakdown, lease/landlord status, basic director details.
- When a rapid DIP may not be possible: missing quotes, unresolved landlord consent, no trading history, or complex/poor credit that needs deeper underwriting.
- Practical next step: complete our short, free eligibility check and we’ll match you to the best lenders/brokers for your fit‑out project: https://ukbusinessloans.co/get-quote/

Short answer (30–60 words)
To apply for invoice finance via UK Business Loans you’ll need recent, reconciled management accounts (typically the latest 3 months, sometimes 6), business bank statements and an invoice‑level aged debtor/receivables schedule showing invoice numbers, invoice & due dates, unpaid balances, age bands and any dispute flags. Ensure totals reconcile to the balance sheet.

Supporting details

Which management accounts lenders typically ask for
- Management accounts (P&L and balance sheet) – latest month and prior months (commonly 3; sometimes 6).
- Month‑by‑month sales and gross margin, YTD/prior year comparatives where available.
- Director’s commentary or notes for one‑offs.
- VAT returns/payroll summaries (occasionally requested).

What to include in an aged debtor / receivables schedule
- Customer name; invoice number/reference; invoice date; due date.
- Gross invoice value; credit notes/adjustments; unpaid balance.
- Age band (0–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+); days outstanding.
- Dispute flag/notes; customer accounts contact; any security/retention notes.
- Provide invoice‑level detail and ensure totals match the trade receivables on the balance sheet and sales‑ledger export.

What lenders/brokers look for
- Average debtor days (many prefer under ~90 days), customer concentration (large single‑customer exposure), disputes/credit trends, historic bad debts, and bank evidence of collections.
- These factors drive advance rates, fees and whether recourse/non‑recourse options are available.

Document checklist to speed decisions
- Latest 3 months management accounts (reconciled P&L & balance sheet)
- Invoice‑level aged debtor schedule (export from Xero/QuickBooks/Sage if possible)
- 3 months business bank statements
- Sales ledger export, latest VAT return, payroll summary (if relevant)
- Company registration, director IDs/proof of address (KYC)
- Copies of large invoices, POs, delivery evidence and details of existing charges/security

Practical tips
- Reconcile receivables before applying; mismatched totals cause delays.
- Flag and document disputes and provide supporting evidence for large/old invoices.
- Be transparent about large customer exposures and existing security.
- Provide accounting software exports to save time.

Yes — pubs can get finance to buy stock before busy seasons or events. Typical options include short-term business loans, overdrafts, merchant cash advances, invoice/stock/supplier finance and secured facilities. UK Business Loans is an introducer: we match you with specialist lenders and brokers but do not lend directly.

What’s available (quick):
- Short-term working capital loans: lump sums for 3–24 months (often from ~£10k).
- Overdrafts & business credit cards: flexible top-ups for smaller needs.
- Merchant cash advances: fast funding repaid from card takings.
- Stock / supplier finance: finance against inventory or extended supplier terms for bulk buys.
- Invoice finance: unlock cash from B2B invoices.
- Asset finance: covers equipment (fridges/keg systems), freeing cash for stock.

What lenders check:
- Trading history & seasonal takings, recent bank statements, turnover and margins.
- Director credit records and any security you can offer.
- Clear use of funds (supplier quotes or purchase orders) speeds decisions.

Practical notes:
- Funds can be supplied in days (MCAs/overdrafts) or 1–2 weeks for secured loans.
- Costs vary: secured loans tend to be cheaper; MCAs and unsecured short-term options are pricier. Ask for full illustrations and total cost.
- Apply 4–8 weeks before big seasons if possible and have bank statements, management accounts and supplier quotes ready.
