- What interest rates can I get on a business loan?
- Rates vary from 3-5% for established businesses with strong financials to 15-25% for startups or higher-risk borrowers. The Bank of England base rate (4.5%) influences all rates.
- Fixed or variable rate — which is better?
- Fixed rates give certainty on repayments. Variable rates are often lower initially but can increase with the base rate. In a high-rate environment, locking in a fixed rate may be wise.
- What security do lenders require?
- Most business loans over £25,000 require some form of security — personal guarantees, business assets, or property. Unsecured loans are available but at higher rates.
