Why we route here

  • Direct lender, so the rate the applicant sees is the rate they get with no broker mark-up layered on top.
  • PG-free options on some cases, which we use to unblock Ltd directors who refuse personal guarantees.
  • Daily or weekly repayment cadence we can match to the applicant cash-flow profile.
  • Case-by-case acceptance on missed payments and small CCJs where mainstream term lenders auto-decline.

When we route elsewhere

  • Sub-£10k tickets are not entertained, so we route smaller asks to iwoca or Capify instead.
  • MCA only with no term-loan alternative, so applicants who want fixed monthly payments go to Funding Circle, Allica or Aldermore.
  • Factor-rate model means we have to translate to APR for the applicant in the matcher result.
  • No card flow means no deal, so B2B service Ltds without a card terminal route to invoice finance or asset finance instead.

Best fit applicants

  • Hospitality, retail and ecommerce Ltds with £20k+ monthly card flow
  • £25k+ MCA tickets where the applicant wants a direct lender
  • Ltd directors who refuse personal guarantees

Where 365 Business Finance is the wrong fit

  • Sub-£10k tickets, route to iwoca or Capify
  • B2B Ltds with no card flow, route to invoice finance
  • Term-loan seekers, route to Funding Circle or Allica
