Corporation Tax Loans – Invest in Growth, Not Just Tax Bills
Spread the Corporation Tax (CT) cost over 3-12 months with a CT loan from 6.9% APR.
Your corporation tax bill represents success – your business made a profit. But paying a large lump sum to HMRC can leave your bank account depleted right when you need funds for growth, stock, or opportunities.
Doulton Bridging Finance provides an independent corporation tax loan service offering you quotes from 6.9% APR that let you spread your tax payments over 3-12 months, keeping your working capital available for what matters: growing your business.
Why Take a Corporation Tax Loan?
Corporation tax timing creates a cash flow challenge for profitable businesses. You've already invested your profits back into operations, staff, equipment, or growth initiatives. Now HMRC wants their share, but pulling that cash out could:
Force you to miss investment opportunities
Disrupt supplier payment schedules
Prevent you taking on new projects
Limit your ability to pay dividends
Restrict cash reserves needed for emergencies
A corporation tax loan solves this timing mismatch, allowing you to pay HMRC whilst keeping your business fully funded.

Corporation Tax Loan vs Business Overdraft
Many businesses consider using their overdraft to pay corporation tax, but this approach has disadvantages:
Overdrafts:
Higher interest rates (often 10-15%+)
Repayable on demand
Reduces available working capital facility
May breach lending covenants
Can affect credit limits with suppliers
Our CT Loans:
Competitive fixed rates from 6.9% APR
Defined repayment schedule
Separate from working capital facilities
Preserves banking relationships
Transparent cost structure
Tax Planning for Future Years
Once you've secured a corporation tax loan, consider planning ahead:
Budget monthly for next year's liability
Consider quarterly provisions
Discuss tax-efficient structures with your accountant
Build a cash reserve specifically for tax
Review profit extraction strategies
