Business loans and funding in Northern Ireland

Need to grow, bridge a quiet month or buy new kit? We help you access flexible business loans and merchant cash advances.

How it works

We work with lenders who offer unsecured loans based on your business performance, or merchant cash advances based on your card machine turnover. We help you understand the options and what you would need to apply. We work with a panel of lenders, so you can see a wider range of options than going to one bank alone.

Merchant cash advances

If you take a good share of your sales by card, a merchant cash advance can be repaid as a proportion of those card takings. That can suit seasonal businesses. We will explain how it works before you commit to anything.

Straight talking

Funding decisions are made by the lender and are subject to their checks. We will not promise approval. What we will do is give you a clear picture of what is out there.

Business Funding FAQs

How does the business funding work?

We work with lenders who offer unsecured loans based on your business performance or merchant cash advances based on your card machine turnover.

Is approval guaranteed?

No. Any lending is subject to the lender's own checks and approval.

Can a startup get a business loan in NI?

Some lenders work with newer businesses, but every lender has its own criteria and checks. Talk to us and we'll explain what might be open to you. We can't promise approval.

What is a merchant cash advance?

It's funding that's repaid as a share of your future card takings, so repayments rise and fall with your sales. It can suit businesses that take most payments by card. We'll explain how it works before you commit.
