Working Capital Loans for UK Businesses

Working capital keeps your UK business running—payroll, HMRC, VAT, PAYE, suppliers, and the day-to-day costs of growth. When revenue and expenses don't align, a working capital facility bridges the gap. UK-registered businesses can access £25k–£750k with repayment schedules that can align to fortnightly or monthly cash flow. Access funds quickly and use them for any business expense.

Common Use Cases
How Business Owners Use This Funding
Covering payroll during growth
Hiring new staff or expanding the team? Payroll is often the largest fixed cost. Working capital ensures you can pay your people on time while revenue catches up.
Paying suppliers on time
Supplier relationships depend on reliability. Working capital lets you meet payment terms, secure early-payment discounts, and maintain strong vendor relationships.
Investing in inventory
Stock up for a busy season, a new product launch, or a bulk order. Working capital funds inventory purchases so you never miss a sale.
Managing the invoicing gap
Clients pay in 30, 60, or 90 days—but your bills are due now. Working capital bridges the gap between delivering work and receiving payment.

FAQ
Common Questions
Working capital is specifically for day-to-day operations—payroll, suppliers, inventory, and operational expenses. A general business loan might be used for larger purchases like equipment or property. The structure and terms can be similar; the key difference is the intended use.
Repayment terms typically range from 3 to 18 months. We design schedules that align with your revenue cycle—whether that is weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—so repayments are manageable.
Yes. Working capital can be used for payroll, suppliers, inventory, rent, utilities, marketing, or any legitimate business expense. There are no restrictions on how you use the funds.
Seasonal businesses often face cash flow gaps during quiet periods. Working capital can bridge those gaps. We can structure repayments to be lighter during your low season and heavier when revenue picks up.
Funding amounts vary by region. Typical ranges start from around 25,000 and go up to 750,000 or more. Your eligibility depends on your business revenue and trading history.
Established businesses with consistent revenue are typically eligible. Requirements vary by region, but generally you need to have been trading for at least 12 months and demonstrate steady cash flow.
We assess your business holistically. Revenue, cash flow, and trading history carry significant weight. A lower personal credit score does not automatically disqualify you.
If you apply before our cutoff time, you can receive an offer the same day. Once you accept, funds are typically transferred within hours. Many businesses are funded within 24–48 hours.
No. Working capital funding from Elect Capital is typically unsecured. No property, equipment, or other assets are required as security.
Overdrafts are revolving facilities with variable rates and can be called in at any time. Working capital funding gives you a fixed amount, a clear repayment schedule, and predictable costs. It is better suited to planned operational spending.
Most established UK SMEs are eligible. You must be a UK-registered limited company or partnership, have been trading for at least 12 months, and generate a minimum of £25,000 in monthly revenue.
We provide funding from £25,000 to £750,000. The amount you qualify for depends on your business revenue and trading history.
