How our online business loans work

We’ll aim to support you no matter how small or new your business is. You must be a UK-based business operating as a sole trader, partnership, or limited company to be considered for an online business loan. As your business grows, you can also apply to top up your loan and may be eligible for a larger credit limit.

Online business loan calculator

Our online business loan calculator shows how much you’ll likely repay based on your anticipated borrowing. If you decide to repay the funds early, then we won’t charge an early repayment fee and you’ll only pay interest for the days that you have money in your account. Check out our small business loans page, scroll down a little bit and see how much you could borrow with us using our calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some questions you could ask yourself before applying for an online business loan. If there is anything we have not covered here, check out our FAQs.

How long do online business loan repayments last?

plus sign

With our online business loan, you can borrow up to £500,000 over a 1 day to 24-month period. You can repay earlier at no extra cost and with no long-term commitments. 

What are unsecured business loans?

plus sign

An unsecured business loan does not require you to use an asset as collateral when obtaining the loan. This is a popular option for smaller and newer businesses that do not have assets to claim. 

What are the typical interest rates of an online business loan?

plus sign

The interest rate will depend on the type of loan you have taken and the duration of the loan. At iwoca, we only charge interest for days when the money is in your account - so the earlier you repay, the less interest you'll pay.

How do I qualify for an online business loan?

plus sign

Many factors determine whether you will qualify for a business loan or not. These include, but are not limited to, your business credit score, repayment history, and trading activity.
