IT business loans
With technology playing an integral part in every modern business operation today, it’s not surprising that the IT consultancy market has grown over the last five years. IT consultancies offer direct support and advice, as well as strategy implementation and management of IT systems, and have become a more popular option for businesses. In recent forecasts, however, the growth of the UK consultancy market is expected to flatline in 2024 as businesses are prompted to cut corporate advice budgets.
With a fast, flexible cash injection from Fleximize, you could get the support you need to keep your business on track. Find out more about our loans, how your IT business could benefit, and what you need to do to apply.

What is an IT business loan?
IT business loans are a form of financial support for companies that provide IT-related services to other businesses. These are available to a range of organisations within the IT sector, from consultancy firms to managed service providers, and can benefit each business depending on their situation.
IT business loans from Fleximize come with terms flexible enough for any circumstance because we know how important that is when planning for an uncertain year. Our products are tailored to suit your business size, services, and goals - whether you're a fast-growing tech start-up or an established cybersecurity firm. Uncover what our IT business loans can be used for, how they work, and whether you’re eligible to apply below.
The challenges IT consultancies are facing
IT businesses have to manage many expenses that come with the nature of the business. This includes upgrading or renewing software licences, purchasing the latest hardware, and undertaking technical training. Keeping resources, licences, and equipment up to date is imperative for IT businesses. Failing to keep up with technological advancements increases the risk of inaccuracy, resulting in falling behind competitors, and a decrease in demand.
Large IT firms with well-established customer bases will find it easier to absorb these overheads, but that’s not always the case for smaller, less established IT firms. With these outgoings having a larger impact on profit margins, smaller firms have to be careful when balancing these necessary costs with other essential outgoings - especially with the likelihood of the demand for consultancy services plateauing this year. If you’re not on track to meet your business goals or targets, an IT business loan from Fleximize could help support your business growth.
How our IT business loans work
Not only are our finance packages fast, flexible, and affordable, but they come in all shapes and sizes with a number of benefits. The Flexiloan and the Flexiloan Lite are both available on a secured or unsecured basis depending on your business needs. You can read an in-depth breakdown of our products on our business loans page, but here, we’ve decoded it for you:
We do IT business loans which range from £5,000 – £500,000 over flexible repayment terms of 3 – 60 months
We have a fast approval and deposit rate, so you could be approved and receive the funds in as little as 24 hours

What can you use an IT business loan for?
In the past, IT businesses have come to us for help resolving cash flow challenges and fuelling expansion. With the market growth for UK consultancies expected to stagnate this year, it doesn’t mean your business has to follow the same path. Now is the perfect time to start planning for the growth of your IT consultancy empire. We've seen many IT firms in this sector approach us for funding to purchase hardware, renewing software licenses, upgrading equipment and recruiting new staff. Other uses of funding for IT businesses have also included fuelling growth, training staff and consolidating debts.
Our financial packages have been designed to fit almost any business purpose. That's because we put flexibility at the heart of our services with top-ups, repayment holidays, and early repayments available with every loan.
How much does an IT business loan cost?
The interest rates for our IT business loans start at 0.9%. As interest is charged against your reducing balance rather than the total amount, you can save money by repaying ahead of time. Additionally, there are no early repayment fees, thanks to our Penalty-Free Promise, because we don’t penalise any business for growing quickly.
To find out an estimated cost of your IT business loan, our award-winning business loan calculator is a great place to start. By entering the amount you want to borrow and your desired repayment period, we’ll give you a rough estimation of how much interest you’d be paying back.
