Start with the funding purpose
A small business loan is a broad form of business-purpose finance. Depending on the lender, it may be structured as a fixed-term loan, secured loan or unsecured loan.
The right structure depends on why you need the funds, how quickly you need them, the strength of your business cash flow and how you prefer to repay. Comparing more than one option can make it easier to weigh up the total cost, repayment pattern and conditions, not just the headline amount.
Fully Approved Finance is a lead-generation and comparison service. We use the information you provide to identify potentially suitable options from our lender panel. The lender you choose makes the final assessment and provides any approved finance.
What lenders may consider
Assessment can include time in business, annual revenue, recent bank activity, current debts, industry, credit history and the purpose of the loan. Requirements differ, so an option that fits one business may not fit another.

Available amounts depend on the lender, your business revenue, trading history, cash flow, existing commitments and intended use of funds. The lender decides the amount it is prepared to offer after assessing the application.
What information will I need?
You will generally need basic business details, the amount and purpose of funding, recent revenue information and permission for the selected lender to assess your application. Extra documents may be requested.
How quickly could funding happen?
Decision and funding times vary with the lender, product, completeness of the application and any further checks required. Ask the lender for an expected timeframe before relying on the funds.
