What can I use a business cash advance for?
For cash-flow, business development, stock or growth, a merchant cash advance could be ideal.
As it’s unsecured, you only need to be a trading business with 3 month’s history to apply.
In fact – so long as it’s legal you can probably raise funds to do it!

A business cash advance is going to give you a quick cash injection into your business. They are similar to business loans though – so our experts will consider both options to make sure the business funding we recommend fits your business like a glove!
How to get a cash advance
The general requirements for a successful business cash advance application are straightforward and similar across all lenders;
- Who is the applicant?
- What are your typical monthly card receipts?
Different lenders will set different height “bars” for each of the above requirements.
Some lenders will expect a good credit profile or a minimum level of sales, but this differs with different providers, so contact us with your details and we’ll get the right funding for you.
Bridging loans for businesses
There is a variety of circumstances which could make a business mortgage unavailable, these might be around the applicant, the business or around the property.
Bridging finance can be used to meet a number of these areas;
- Property improvements.
- Starting up a business in the property.
- Business development.
- Short term funding needs for other reasons.
Business loans
A more flexible alternative to a commercial mortgage, especially a remortgage could be a business loan. The requirements for a business loan might be less stringent, especially around the property.
Because the repayment term of a business loan (especially an unsecured loan) will be much shorter – the repayments will be much higher, even for a smaller amount (Using our commercial mortgage calculator compare a 25 year term to a 5 year term and see the difference in repayments.)
