Frequently asked questions
What kinds of business finance does Lloyds provide?
Lloyds sits on a broader panel of funders we work with covering unsecured business loans, invoice finance, asset finance, merchant cash advance and working-capital facilities. We match your business profile, funding need and repayment capacity against the lender most likely to approve and at the sharpest rate.
Can I apply to Lloyds directly?
In some cases yes, but applying directly locks you into one lender's pricing and criteria. An introduced application via Doulton gets benchmarked against 130+ business funders, so you see the best deal available to your company rather than the first one you happen to approach.
What sizes of business loan can I borrow?
We arrange business funding from around £10,000 for unsecured loans and merchant cash advance facilities, up to £5m+ for secured commercial lending. Asset finance and invoice finance both scale with the underlying asset or sales ledger.
How quickly can funds arrive?
Unsecured online business loans and merchant cash advances can complete in 24-72 hours. Asset finance typically takes 3-10 working days. Larger secured lending follows a standard underwriting and legal timeline of 2-6 weeks.
Do I need to be profitable to borrow?
Not always. Many specialist funders will lend against turnover, card takings, invoiced revenue or asset value rather than net profit. Early-stage and recovering businesses are often better placed with alternative lenders than high-street banks.
