Business loans for construction and trades

Funding for the jobs you’ve already won.

Bigger contracts need materials, labour and kit before the first payment arrives. Tax bills land at the worst time. A business loan gives you a lump sum with fixed repayments, from a specialist who knows how construction cash flow works.

  • £10k to £1m for limited companies
  • Materials, contracts, tax bills and growth
  • Already turned down by your bank? You may still have options
Free · No hard credit check · One specialist, not ten calls

Sound familiar?

Busy, booked up, and short of cash.

“We need £40k of materials before the job starts.”

A short-term loan can fund materials, repaid as the job pays out.

“Our VAT bill is due and the main contractor hasn’t paid.”

Tax and VAT loans spread the bill over a few months.

“The bank won’t lend to construction.”

Specialist lenders look at construction differently. Many still fund it.

Good to know

What lenders often look at for construction firms

Work in the pipeline

Signed contracts and repeat clients help show where repayments will come from.

Payment history

Recent bank statements matter more than a business plan.

Who you work for

Commercial and public sector contracts are often viewed differently from domestic work.

Invoice finance instead?

If you’re mainly waiting on main contractors to pay, invoice finance may suit you better.

Honest check

Is a business loan right for your business?

Usually a good fit

  • Limited company or LLP
  • Usually 12 months or more trading
  • Steady work and bank statements to show it

Harder to fund

  • Brand new businesses
  • Unresolved CCJs or missed payments
  • Big losses on recent jobs

Not sure? That's what the call is for. If it isn't the right fit, your specialist will tell you and suggest what might work instead.
