Welsh business loans, explained
There are an estimated 248,000 businesses operating in Wales alone, with micro-sized enterprises experiencing a remarkable 46.3% growth over the years. This promising increase highlights the resilient nature of Welsh entrepreneurs.
Sustaining business growth involves raising capital, and that’s the hardest part. This is where business funding steps in.
Funding can provide the essential support that Welsh SMEs need to help sustain growth plans. Applying to a traditional bank for a business loan could take several months to complete. Alternative finance providers like Fleximize offer a convenient alternative. These business loans are a quick and hassle-free form of Welsh business funding.

Secured business loans
Secured loans allow you to offer assets as collateral against a business loan. This type of funding offers a higher value loan of up to £500K with us, as the loan amount is ‘secured’ against one or more of your assets.
You’ll also often be eligible for lower interest rates as a result, making this a more cost-effective option in the long term.

Unsecured business loans
An unsecured loan offers a quick and easy way to get financing.
You don’t need to put up assets as security, making them an accessible choice for businesses that:
- Don’t have many assets
- Would prefer not to offer them as collateral against a loan
Unsecured loans are also typically cheaper than secured. This is because there’s no time spent waiting for asset valuations and legal processes are simpler.

What interest rates should I expect?
Interest rates on Welsh business loans will vary across the industry, but at Fleximize, our monthly rates start from 0.9%.
As part of our Penalty-Free Promise:
- You’ll only pay interest on your reducing balance and not your total loan amount
- You can make overpayments at any time at no additional cost.
- 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 only £26.95 in your final month.

As a hot-bed of entrepreneurship, SMEs account for over 60% of employment and nearly half of turnover in Wales.
