Next Steps

As a specialist property finance broker, Clifton Private Finance can provide a clear picture of the options available to you. We will assess your specific set of circumstances and arrange a finance solution tailored to your needs.

If you have found a piece of land, pre-planning or with planning permission, which you wish to purchase to build or develop on, then you need to act quickly to avoid losing it to another buyer.

To complete the purchase you will need a significant amount of finance and you may need to secure a business loan.

Check Eligibility

Traditional Lenders

When you need finance quickly to fund your land purchase, approaching a traditional lender for a business loan may not be the most efficient option.

In order to secure a business loan from a traditional lender you'll need to provide a lot of documents. This is so the traditional lender can assess the risk of lending to you for your land purchase. Typically, traditional lenders will want a business plan and details of how you intend to repay the loan.

Not only do you have to provide the traditional lender with certain documentation, you will also likely have to wait up to several weeks or even months for the traditional lender to process your application. When completing a purchase, any delay can result in losing out on the piece of land to another buyer.

Private Lenders

When time is of the essence you may want to approach a private lender.

Private lenders’ application process is usually a lot quicker than traditional lenders, which could help you avoid any unnecessary delays and complete your land purchase.

Also, it should be noted, that private lenders’ do not require a lot of documents to support your application; private lenders are more interested in your ability to repay the loan itself.

Private lenders’ business loans cannot be found on the high street or online, which is why if you need a business loan through a private lender, it is advisable to contact a broker.

Frequently asked questions

You can find the most common questions asked about business loans below. If you have a question that isn't answered here, please email us at commercial@cliftonpf.co.uk

Since business loans are used across practically all industries, they're useful for anyone. In particular, they're most commonly used by small or medium businesses. For smaller businesses, the loan can be used to cover startup costs, including staff hiring and stocking inventory.

For medium or larger businesses, a business loan is useful for acquiring machinery and equipment used to grow and elevate the business.

The uses for a business loan, however, are wide and flexible, and can be used in a variety of ways to grow and enhance your business. 

Business loans offer an effective solution for businesses short on capital, but there are several risks involved with receiving loans. The primary risk of a business loan is its financial risk. Should you receive an offer from a lender that lacks flexibility, has a particularly high interest rate or has other factors that make it difficult to repay the loan, there is a risk of an impact on your credit score, loss of secured property, or fines.

 

Businesses use finance to pay for a variety of products, properties, and more. As a business, finance is commonly used to start up businesses, and cover upfront costs, including staff payroll, equipment and inventory stock.

Business finance is also used for expansion: if you're looking to improve the speed, efficiency, or capabilities of your business, and it's a fantastic way of securing funding to support growth by covering expensive equipment costs.

 

Business finance involves the direct involvement of brokers in organising financial transactions, business finance brokers liaise with clients and lenders to secure the best coverage of a requested loan amount, as well as the most competitive interest rate.

Accountants, however, are solely responsible for the documents and reporting of the transactions.

When it comes to business finance, a business loan is perhaps the most standard method of acquiring capital for your business. These traditional loans are highly flexible, with a broad range of applications to support the growth and development of your business.

The following is an example of a business loan application that is particularly common:

Scenario:

A construction company is looking to acquire equipment to undertake a large project, but they lack sufficient funds to purchase the equipment outright.

Instead, they consult with Clifton Private Finance, who find the very best market rate business finance deals and organise a £100,000 loan for the construction company.

Process:

After an initial consultation with one of our business finance brokers, the broker reaches out to a wide panel of lenders, offering a range of competitive offers to review. The broker receives an offer for the full amount with a competitive interest rate, allowing the owner to pay the business finance loan without greatly reducing cash flow.

Result:

With the purchase of the new equipment, the construction company can now complete the large project, and once complete, the large profit generated from the project itself is more than enough to cover the cost of the business loan.

Let us do all the hard work of finding the right product and lender for your circumstances. We secure business finance for applications of all types, and we negotiate competitive lending to meet your needs and timescales.
