Secured Business Funding for UK SMEs
We specialise in helping UK SMEs access tailored secured business funding solutions that support long term growth, against a backdrop of complex financing needs, or situations where unsecured borrowing may not be an option.
If your business is seeking larger loan amounts, lower interest rates, or longer repayment terms, a secured business loan could be the ideal solution. By using commercial or residential property or other high value business assets as collateral, your business can unlock funding that may not be available through traditional unsecured loan routes.
What is Secured Business Funding?
Secured business finance involves borrowing money against a business or personal asset, such as property, vehicles, or equipment. This gives lenders increased confidence and allows them to offer more favourable terms, including:
Loan amounts typically ranging from £50,000 to £10 million+
Repayment terms from 1 to 25 years
Flexible interest rates depending on asset type, risk profile, and loan term
Whether you're a startup, a growing SME, or a phoenix business in the process of restructuring, secured funding can offer a viable path to sustainable success.

Our secured finance solutions offer a wide range of benefits for business owners who need a reliable, affordable way to access capital:
