FundBiz enquiries are for limited companies, LLPs and partnerships with four or more partners. Some lenders on this page also accept other business types; we do not arrange those and do not recommend a lender on that basis.
When Bizcap wins
- May accept cases that mainstream lenders have declined.
- Approval in as little as 3 hours and funds the same day, by Bizcap's own account, which matters for HMRC pressure and supplier-pay scenarios.
- Clear about which decline reasons they will actually consider.
- An option when the borrower can't wait for a Capify or 365 Business Finance decision.
Best for
Businesses already declined by mainstream lenders who still need cash this week, CCJ history and recent missed payments where Capify and 365 won't stretch, Speed prioritised over rate, with the applicant briefed on the cost.
Watch outs
- Priced for higher-risk cases, so rarely the cheapest option.
- Effective APR can exceed 100% on short paybacks (a factor rate of 1.20 repaid daily over six months works out at roughly 110% APR), so check the total cost before signing.
- Rate-sensitive borrowers are the wrong fit; iwoca, Funding Circle or Allica may suit better.
When JPM Capital wins
- Accepts CCJs and recent missed payments that Funding Circle, iwoca and the high-street banks reject outright.
- Direct lender pricing, which avoids the broker mark-up some post-decline routes carry.
- Same-day decisions for clean post-decline cases, useful for time-pressured files.
- Offers bad-credit, VAT and tax funding lines, according to its own site.
Best for
Post-decline applicants needing an unsecured loan of £5,000 to £50,000, Files with recent missed payments where mainstream lenders blocked, Speed-prioritised post-decline cases that need a 48-hour decision.
Watch outs
- Higher pricing band by post-decline category economics, so rate-sensitive borrowers should try iwoca or Funding Circle first if their file allows.
- Smaller brand presence than the mainstream names.
- Per-month rate quoting hides effective APR, so work it out before signing.
