Who we serve: limited companies & LLPs explained

What is a limited company and what is an LLP?

A private limited company (LTD) is a separate legal entity owned by shareholders and run by directors. A public limited company (PLC) is similar but often larger and subject to different requirements. A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) combines partnership flexibility with limited liability for its members.

Typical finance needs include managing cashflow, buying equipment, funding expansion, refinancing existing debt and supporting contract-backed growth.

Which company types we can match

• Private limited companies (LTD) — most common for SMEs
• Public limited companies (PLC) — may require specialist funding routes
• Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) — we can match LLPs to lenders who understand partnership structures

Common scenarios where limited companies & LLPs seek finance

• Cashflow gaps while awaiting client payments
• Equipment and vehicle purchases via asset finance
• Commercial property purchase or bridging finance
• Contract funding and invoice financing for B2B firms
• Sustainability upgrades: solar, EV chargers, heat pumps

Do we serve every region of the UK?

Nationwide coverage

Yes. We work with lenders and brokers serving England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our network includes national lenders and regional brokers located in major hubs such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and Belfast.

How local differences can affect loan options

Regional variation matters: some lenders specialise in property lending in specific regions, others have strength in particular industries that cluster locally (e.g., manufacturing in the Midlands, fintech in London). We match you to partners with local or sector expertise where it helps your chances.

Free eligibility check — include your location so we can suggest partners familiar with your region.

Types of business loans & finance available to limited companies & LLPs

We connect limited companies and LLPs to providers offering a broad range of finance options. Typical products include:

• Unsecured business loans — short- to medium-term cash for established businesses with acceptable credit histories.
• Secured loans / commercial mortgages — for property purchases or larger borrowing where assets provide security.
• Asset finance / equipment finance — spread the cost of machinery, vehicles or specialist kit across manageable terms.
• Invoice finance / factoring — unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices to smooth cashflow.
• Merchant cash advance / short-term bridging — flexible short-term solutions for urgent working capital needs.
• Refinance & debt consolidation — restructure existing borrowing to improve monthly cashflow.
• Green / sustainability loans — finance for renewable installations and energy-efficient upgrades.

Each product suits different company sizes, trading histories and sectors. If you’d like to explore one of these options, complete a short enquiry and we’ll match you with lenders who specialise in that product. Find lenders who specialise in your product.

Eligibility: what lenders typically look for

Standard eligibility criteria

• Trading history — often 12+ months for many lenders (requirements vary by product).
• Annual turnover — lenders set minimum turnover thresholds depending on product.
• Company accounts & director information — recent accounts, bank statements and ID checks are usually requested.
• Purpose of funds — clarity on how funds will be used (growth, equipment, refinance) helps speed decisions.
• Security — some loans require collateral; specialist unsecured lenders exist for qualifying businesses.

Common questions for LLPs

LLPs are underwritten differently because lenders assess membership agreements, profit-sharing arrangements and individual members’ credit histories. Expect lenders to request evidence of the LLP structure and recent financials.

If you have limited or imperfect credit

Some broker partners and specialist lenders consider businesses with historical credit issues — they assess the full context (trading performance, reasons for past problems and current projections). It’s worth submitting an enquiry: Free eligibility check — take 2 minutes.

Pricing & compliance / important disclaimers

How we’re paid

Our service is free for businesses. UK Business Loans receives commission or a finder’s fee from lenders or brokers when a lead converts, not from the business for the introduction.

We are not a lender or regulated financial adviser

We act as an introducer connecting businesses with lenders and brokers. Any advice, credit decisions or regulated services will come from the lender or broker you choose to proceed with.

Credit checks & privacy

Submitting our initial enquiry will not affect your personal or business credit score. Lenders or brokers may run credit checks only if you decide to proceed with an application. We handle your data securely and only share it with selected partners for the purpose of matching — see our Privacy Policy for details.
