Want to know more?

Here are some questions our customers ask. If there’s anything we haven’t covered here, take a look at our FAQ

Can I apply for a loan if I’m already using finance elsewhere?
plus sign

Yes, you can apply for an iwoca loan even if you’re using other finance. Many customers use iwoca alongside other lenders.

Will applying for a loan affect my credit score?
plus sign

No, applying won't impact your credit score. We perform a soft credit check initially, which is invisible to others.

Are business loans tax deductible?
plus sign

Yes. Interest payments on your business loan are typically tax-deductible as a business expense. However, you should always confirm with your accountant.

Why does iwoca need a personal guarantee?
plus sign

We ask for a personal guarantee because it helps us offer funding without requiring business assets as security, keeping our finance fast, flexible, and accessible for more businesses.

Is the loan secured or unsecured?
plus sign

Our loans are unsecured, meaning we don’t require you to put up any business assets as collateral, though you will typically need to provide a personal guarantee.
