COMMON QUESTIONS

What borrowers often ask us

View all Borrower FAQs

We lend to a wide range of UK businesses, from farmers and hospitality owners to property developers and entrepreneurs. As long as you have suitable property as security, a solid vision, and a clear exit, we’ll consider your application. Find out if you’re eligible.

Our loans are secured against UK land or property (excluding your home). This could include farmland, commercial premises, investment property, or development land.

Every deal is different – but our human approach often means we can move quicker than traditional lenders with funds in weeks not months.

Almost any business purpose and across a variety of sectors. See our loan purposes and see what sectors we commonly support.
