Retail business loans from Fleximize: Are they secured?

A small retail business loan from Fleximize is the perfect form of finance for retailers like you. Our loan options, the Flexiloan and Flexiloan Lite, offer the speed and flexibility you need as an SME operating in the retail industry and come with the option of being secured or unsecured.

Our team will review your application and assess which option suits your business best. We tend to give your business a choice of either in our letter, with the secured offer coming with a greater loan amount.

Want to dive deep into our products? You can discover more on our services page, but we’ve hand-picked some key features of our funding options below:

Rest assured, we consider far more than your company's credit history during our decision-making process, which means you can apply with confidence. You’ll be assigned a dedicated relationship manager who will work closely with you to create a retail finance package tailored to your business’s needs.

What can a retail business loan be used for?

The UK retail sector is worth a whopping £462bn, accounting for one-third of consumer spending in the UK alone. Over a fifth of e-commerce sales made up overall retail sales in 2023, so it’s no surprise we’ve seen a growth in the number of online retailers over the last decade.

We understand that you have goals in many areas of your business as a retailer, but reaching them can sometimes be challenging due to the industry’s constant changes. Having a cash buffer can give you the flexibility to react to these changes and transform them into opportunities for your business.

If you expect an increase in sales, you could use retail finance to reach your desired inventory levels and maximise profit.

Looking to hire fresh talent? A retail business loan could fuel your recruitment process.

Is your website performing as well as it should, and could it use a revamp? With retail finance, you can make all the necessary changes to your website and business to make it thrive.

You can use our funding to purchase premises for your retail business. Check out our £250K and £500K pages for more information on fueling the purchase of a commercial property.

From bridging a gap in cash flow to paying unexpected VAT bills, we’ve stated only a few reasons why retailers like you seek funding. So, wherever your business journey takes you, a retail business loan can support the path to get you there.

Check your eligibility for a retail business loan

We don’t have the same strict lending criteria as banks and want to say “yes” to as many SME retailers as possible. So, even if your credit score is a little below par, remember that it’s not the only factor we’ll consider when reviewing your application.

How much do retail business loans cost?

The interest rates on our loans start from just 0.9%, but you can use our business loans calculator to get an idea of your repayments.

The overall cost will depend on your unique situation because your finance package will be tailored to the needs of your business. Under our Penalty-Free Promise, you can repay early to save on interest without incurring additional fees - we don’t penalise you for growing fast.

We assure you that there’ll be no hidden fees or nasty surprises as your dedicated relationship manager will inform you of your loan terms from the beginning. To start your journey today and receive a tailored quote, speak to a friendly member of our team on 020 7100 0110.
