Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are there flexible repayment options available? +
Many business loans offer flexible repayment terms, allowing you to choose schedules that match your cash flow — such as weekly, monthly, or seasonal payments.
Can I apply if my business has limited trading history? +
Yes. Even newer businesses may qualify depending on revenue, industry, and overall financial stability. Some lenders offer options designed for start-ups or young companies.
What documents do I need to apply for a business loan? +
Most applications only require basic business details, recent bank statements, and proof of identity. Additional documents may be required depending on the loan amount or business type.
Does applying affect my credit score? +
No. Initial eligibility checks do not impact your credit score.
How fast can I receive funds? +
Many approvals and fund releases can happen quickly once your application is completed.
How much funding can I apply for? +
Funding amounts depend on your business profile, affordability, and funding needs.
What is a working capital loan? +
A working capital loan helps fund day-to-day business operations such as payroll, inventory, bills, and short-term expenses rather than long-term assets.
Am I eligible for a Kredzo Fund Working Capital Loan? +
Typically, you must be a UK-registered business, trading for at least one year, and meet minimum turnover requirements confirmed during the eligibility check.
Will applying affect my business credit score? +
No. The initial eligibility check uses a soft search and does not impact your business credit score. A full credit search is only done if you accept an offer.
Are there penalties for early repayment? +
No. You can repay your loan early at any time with no early settlement or hidden fees.
How is a short-term loan different from a working capital loan? +
Short-term loans usually have smaller amounts and shorter repayment periods (typically under 2 years), making them ideal for immediate cash needs. Working capital loans offer higher amounts and longer terms.
What are the basic eligibility criteria? +
For short-term business loans, your UK-registered business typically needs at least 6 months of trading history and a minimum monthly turnover.
How is the interest calculated? +
Kredzo Fund loans use a fixed annual interest rate. The total interest is calculated upfront and split into equal, fixed monthly repayments so you always know the full cost.
What if I want to pay off the loan early? +
Kredzo Fund allows full early settlement at any time with no fees, helping you save on interest if you repay early.
