Business Loans for Cardiff and Wales

Business loans and finance for Cardiff and Wales. Loans, asset finance, invoice finance and working capital from specialist lenders. Welsh business finance experts.

As the home base of Doulton Bridging Finance, Wales holds a special significance in our business. We have deep familiarity with the Welsh business landscape - from Cardiff's growing financial services and professional services sectors to manufacturing in the South Wales valleys, tourism and hospitality in North Wales, and agriculture across mid and West Wales. Welsh businesses deserve access to the same specialist finance products available to businesses in London and the major English cities - and through our national panel of 130+ lenders, that is exactly what we provide.

Business Finance for Wales - Full Product Range

Every DBF product is available to Welsh businesses: unsecured business loans from £10,000 to £500,000; secured commercial loans up to £5m+; asset finance for any business-critical equipment; invoice finance for B2B businesses; merchant cash advances for card-taking businesses; revolving credit facilities; management buyout finance; and property-backed business lending.

Key Sectors in Wales

Manufacturing and Steel

Wales has a significant manufacturing base - from the Tata Steel operations at Port Talbot to precision engineering, aerospace components, and automotive manufacturing. We arrange asset finance, invoice discounting, and working capital for Welsh manufacturers.

Agriculture and Rural Business

Welsh farming - sheep, dairy, beef, and mixed agriculture - has distinct financial needs including seasonal working capital, livestock finance, and agricultural equipment funding. We work with specialist agricultural lenders who understand Welsh farming economics.

Tourism and Hospitality

North Wales, the Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire, and the Gower Peninsula are major tourism destinations. Seasonal finance, merchant cash advances, and asset finance for accommodation businesses are widely used by Welsh tourism operators.

Cardiff Professional Services

Cardiff Bay and the city centre host a growing professional services sector - law, finance, technology, and public sector services. Working capital, management buyout finance, and expansion lending are the most common requirements.

Development Bank of Wales

The Development Bank of Wales provides government-backed loans and equity to Welsh businesses. We work alongside the DBW - not in competition with it - helping businesses understand whether a commercial loan or a DBW product is the better fit for their circumstances.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do you arrange finance for businesses across all of Wales?

Yes - from Cardiff and Swansea to Aberystwyth, Bangor, and everywhere in between.

Can a Welsh farming business get finance through you?

Yes. We work with specialist agricultural lenders and can arrange seasonal working capital, livestock finance, and equipment funding for Welsh farms.

Is the Development Bank of Wales better than commercial lending?

It depends on the situation. DBW rates can be competitive, but commercial lenders are often faster and more flexible. We help you compare the two.

Are there Welsh-specific business grants?

Yes. Business Wales and the Welsh Government offer various grants and support schemes. We can signpost you to these alongside our commercial finance options.

Do you speak Welsh?

Our primary service is in English, though we are always happy to work with clients who prefer Welsh-medium communication wherever possible.
