    • To complete your loan application, you’ll need to supply:
      • Two years’ filed accounts (the last no later than 15 months old)
      • Latest three months’ bank statements
      • Details of current borrowing (including any Bounce Back, CBILS or RLS loan)
      • Purpose of funds – a simple description of what the loan will be used for. Also if this loan is to refinance existing debt we can take this into account in the assessment.

    • With a LendingCrowd loan, you can borrow between £75,000 and £500,000. Loan terms range from 6 months to 60 months, and rates start from 6.90%.

    • Yes, you can. LendingCrowd does not charge any fees for early repayment. You can also make overpayments of at least £5,000.

    • With LendingCrowd you can use a business loan to refinance existing debt, making your outgoings more manageable. We can also finance loans for stock, cashflow, new premises, a new contract, management buy-out and also for an acquisition – the uses are as varied as the businesses we see.

    • For business loans up to £350,000 (subject to credit assessment) we would take a personal guarantee, as is standard in business lending. For this you would either need to be a homeowner or be able to provide a guarantee from a third party. We can give you more information on application.
