Lender guides
Lender Guides: who funds business purchases in the UK
Buying a business is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make, and no two lenders look at a deal the same way. Some focus on the business's cash flow, some on its property or assets, and some on particular sectors or deal sizes.
These guides explain what each lender funds, who it suits, and what it looks for, so you can see your options before you commit. When you're ready, we'll compare lenders for your deal.
Find lenders by type of purchase
How we write these guides
Every guide is based on the lender's own website and public documents, and shows the date we checked them. We describe each lender factually, whether or not we work with it, and each guide says clearly if a lender is on our panel.
iLendi Capital is a commercial finance broker, not a lender. We don't charge customers a fee; we receive commission from the lenders we work with. Lenders change their criteria and terms, so always confirm details before you apply.
Why compare lenders through iLendi?
