Loans for any budget
Business loans are a versatile tool that allow you to fund a range of business activities from financing equipment to covering unexpected bills. This makes it easier to manage your cash flow, as you can get the funds you need upfront and spread the cost of paying it back.
With Fleximize, you can apply to borrow between £10,000 and £500,000. The size of your loan will depend on your personal and business financial situation, as well as what you need your loan for. This could be anything from growth to operational demands.
To help you choose the right loan size for your business, we’ve produced a series of pages on some of the most common loan amounts you can borrow:
What loan amount should I get for my business?
When considering how much to borrow, try to match the amount of capital needed to your current and future business requirements. Uses could include:
- Taking advantage of growth opportunities
- Purchasing new equipment
- Investing in infrastructure
- Hiring more staff
Our funding solutions are bespoke, with applications reviewed individually based on your unique needs and circumstances.
With Fleximize, you can apply to borrow from £5,000 up to £250,000 as a business based in the UK, and up to £500,000 in England and Wales. When deciding how much to offer, we consider a wide range of factors including monthly revenue, credit history, and trading time.
We can lend a maximum of two months’ revenue. For example, if you typically generate £50,000 per month, you could apply for a £100,000 business loan.
Many of our customers choose to top this up after their first few successful repayments.
How business loans can boost your UK business
There are several advantages for your business when you find the right loan. Here’s why almost a third of SMEs seek external finance.
Benefits
Grow your business
With an upfront cash injection, you can accelerate the growth of your business without having to wait to accumulate funds through income generation and potentially miss an opportunity. With almost half of SMEs seeking loans to expand, common uses include:
- Moving into new premises
- Upgrading equipment
- Facilitating new marketing initiatives
Flexibility
Choose how you use your loan. Whilst you may be expected to present a business plan, you retain the freedom to adjust and modify your plans once the funding is deposited.
At Fleximize, there are no hidden fees or early repayment penalties. Your business can also benefit from repayment holidays or top-ups at any time during your loan term.
Control
A business loan lets you maintain control over your business, so you won’t need to look to investors for help.
Unlike equity finance options like angel investment or venture capital, as a business owner, you won’t give up shares in your business in exchange for funds.
Repayment holidays
When you’re running a business, sometimes client payments can get delayed, or there’s a cash flow problem.
That’s why we offer repayment holidays as standard after three successful loan repayments, allowing you to make interest-only payments for a short period to help with unexpected costs.
Accessibility
With unsecured loans, you don’t need to offer company or personal assets as security.
This makes funding accessible for small business owners who might not have many assets or would prefer not to offer them as collateral.
Things to consider
Application process
With forms and document submissions, applying for a loan can be quite time-intensive - particularly when working with traditional banks.
That’s why we’ve built a quick and easy application form that allows you to apply online in under five minutes.
Early repayment fees
Unlike most lenders, Fleximize doesn’t charge fees for repaying early. We never penalize customers for growing faster than expected, so you’ll only pay interest for the time you’ve had the loan at no extra cost.

Your common questions answered
Choosing the right loan term will depend on what you plan to use it for. Standard repayment terms are as follows:
- Short-term: 3 to 24 months
- Mid-term: Up to 5 years
- Long-term: Up to 10 years
Typically you should aim to borrow only what you need, and over the shortest timeframe feasible for your business. This reduces your risk and lowers the amount of interest you’ll need to pay.
However, this will depend on the purpose of the loan and how long you need the funds.
For instance, smaller loans to cover VAT may be taken out over three months as payments are billed quarterly. In contrast, customers applying for a larger loan for growth purposes will likely need longer payment terms to prevent monthly payments from affecting their cash flow.
At Fleximize, we offer terms of 3 to 60 months and calculate your interest on your reducing balance, not the total loan amount.
Business loan amounts can vary between lenders. With Fleximize, you can apply to borrow up to £250K upfront if you choose an unsecured business loan.
With security, this increases to a £500K business loan depending on the value of your assets. We also offer quick and easy top-ups after your first few successful repayments.
You can apply to borrow up to two months’ revenue. For example, if your average monthly revenue is £50,000, you will be eligible for a £100,000 loan.
Interest rates on UK business loans will vary across the industry, but at Fleximize, our rates start from just 0.9% per month.
We charge interest only on your reducing balance, not the total loan amount. With our Penalty-Free Promise, you can make overpayments at any time. This way, you’ll save on interest if you want to make overpayments without settling in full.
For example, if you take out a £50,000 loan at 0.9% over 18 months, interest would be £450.00 in month one but £26.95 in your final month. Check out our Business Loan Calculator for further details.
