Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to get investment in my business?
The type of business financing you should pursue depends on what stage your business is currently in. Venture capital can be a good avenue for a high-growth startup, whereas a business loan is great if you’d like to maintain full ownership of your business. Our business finance advice is tailored to your growth goals, and you’ll always receive actionable guidance that sets you on the right path.
What is a debenture in business finance terms?
A debenture is a loan agreement that needs to be registered at Companies House, and is used when businesses need to borrow large amounts of money. In simple terms, you might think of it like a mortgage that’s used for a business instead of property. A debenture gives the lender security over a company’s assets, and will often include fixed and floating charges that determine what you can do with assets in your business.
What happens if I can’t repay my business finance?
This will depend entirely on the terms of your finance, which is why our business finance advice is so important. Instead of any nasty surprises, you’ll understand exactly what terms you’ve agreed to and be able to prepare for any eventuality.
