Retail business loans FAQs

What is retail business loan?

Retail business loans are a fantastic way to secure the financial support your retail business needs. With these loans, you can receive the full amount of money you require and make convenient monthly repayments at a fixed fee that includes interest. It's important to note that loans for retail businesses may require a personal guarantee. This means that as the business owner, you would become personally liable for paying back the money in the event of any default on loan repayments.

What are the different types of retail loans?

There are various types of small business loans depending on your needs as a retailer. If you need quick cash to keep your business ticking over, a merchant cash advance, short-term loan or cash flow loan could be your best fit.

If you're looking to expand your retail operation, an unsecured loan can help you make big moves without risking assets. Whatever your plans, mycashline can provide retail business loans to meet your needs.

What's the best way to finance a retail business?

In an ideal world, organic growth and healthy cash flow would be enough to finance your retail shop. But we understand this isn't always how things work. Our retail finance loans offer quick, flexible funding to help you take your business to the next level with that added support.

What types of retailers do you offer loans to?

Our loans are suitable for a wide range of retailers: from convenience stores to bookshops, antique and vintage shops— you name it, we'll help it!

What is the difference between a retail business loan and a regular business loan?

On the face of it, they are the same thing. A key thing that retail owners should consider when applying for a business loan is their cash flow. Retailers tend to see fluctuations in their sales; for example, a florist will be busier around Valentine's Day in February and quieter in January. Therefore, it's good to provide lenders with your bank statements over a longer period so they can take into consideration dips in your cash flow to approve you for a retail loan that best fits your business."

Who can get a loan for retailers?

Our small retail business loans are available to companies and entrepreneurs meeting the following criteria:

  • UK-based
  • Private or limited company
  • Turnover of at least £15,000 per month
  • Trading for more than 12 months
