Short-term Business Loans for UK SMEs
Short-term business loans offer a flexible way for business owners to manage cash flow gaps, handle seasonal fluctuations, and invest in growth or development opportunities. As demand for quick, accessible funding has surged between 2015 and 2022, these loans have become a vital solution for companies needing rapid financial support.
What is a short-term business loan, and how can it be used?
A short-term business loan is a type of financing designed to help businesses meet immediate or temporary cash flow needs. These loans are typically repaid over a shorter period, usually between 3 to 24 months, sometimes up to 36 months, unlike traditional business loans that may stretch over several years.
