Frequently asked questions
Here are some questions our customers ask. Check our FAQs for anything we haven't covered.
Will applying for a business loan affect my credit score?
We only run soft credit checks which means applying won’t affect your credit score. But if you decide to draw down funds from us, the business loan will show up on your credit report.
Can I repay early?
Yep, some of our customers repay early to save on interest. If you want to make extra repayments or pay off your business loan early we won't charge you any fees. (And don't worry - you’ll never find any sneaky small print surprises with us.)
How are you different from a bank?
Even though we offer business loans, we’re not a bank. We’re an independent company custom-built for small businesses – and our goal is to provide straightforward access to finance where and when your business needs it.
How long does it take?
It takes 5 minutes to apply and in almost all cases you'll get a decision in 24 hours.
What do your customers use their business loans for?
Generally, they put the money to short term investments, like extra stock. Or they use it to help with cash flow, like if they're waiting on an invoice.
What if I need more?
With a Flexi-Loan, once you've paid back a third of your original credit limit, applying for a top up is easy. We'll just need updated information about your business.
How to get a business loan with bad credit?
Getting a business loan with bad credit can be challenging but not impossible. Credit is just one of the criteria lenders use to assess your risk – alternative lenders such as iwoca also review your financial statements, business debt and cash flow to determine whether you can effectively manage the debt.
Are business loans tax deductible?
The interest paid on business loans is typically tax deductible, as it is considered a business expense. However, the principal amount of the loan is not deductible. It's important to keep detailed records of all loan-related expenses for tax purposes.
Does a business loan affect personal credit?
A business loan can affect personal credit if the loan is personally guaranteed or if the business owner uses personal credit to secure the loan. Late payments or defaults on the loan can negatively impact the individual's credit score.
