AC Finance Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cash flow business loan?

A cash flow business loan provides your business with additional working capital to help manage temporary cash flow shortages. It can be used to cover everyday operating expenses, pay suppliers, purchase stock or invest in business growth while waiting for customer payments.

Cash flow business loans can be used for a wide range of business purposes, including:

  • Paying suppliers
  • Covering payroll
  • Purchasing stock
  • Marketing campaigns
  • Equipment purchases
  • Tax or VAT payments
  • Seasonal trading requirements
  • General working capital
  • Business expansion
  • Unexpected business expenses

The timescale depends on the lender and your individual circumstances. Many lenders can provide decisions quickly, and once approved, funds may be released within a short period, subject to the lender’s processes.

Not always. Some cash flow business loans are available without property or asset security, while others may require security or a personal guarantee depending on the lender, the amount borrowed and your business circumstances.

The amount available will depend on factors such as your business turnover, profitability, trading history, credit profile and affordability. Our team will compare funding options from multiple lenders to help find the most suitable solution for your business.

Can start-up businesses apply?

Some lenders will consider start-up businesses, while others require a minimum trading history. We’ll assess your circumstances and identify lenders that are most likely to support your application.

Different lenders have different application processes. Some may carry out an initial soft credit search, while a full credit search may only be completed if you proceed with a formal application. We’ll explain the process before your application is submitted.

This varies depending on the lender, but you may be asked to provide:

  • Business bank statements
  • Company accounts
  • Details of your business turnover
  • Identification documents
  • Information about how the funds will be used

Our team will let you know exactly what’s required for your chosen lender.

Many lenders allow early repayment, although early settlement fees or conditions may apply. We’ll explain any charges before you accept your finance agreement so there are no surprises.

A commercial finance broker gives you access to a wide panel of lenders rather than just one provider. This means we can compare multiple funding options on your behalf, helping you find a competitive solution while saving you the time and effort of approaching lenders individually.
