“I have used the company for my own business and found it to be so much easier than dealing with the banks.

You can pay off the loan when you like, without penalty. It is very easy to apply and I had the money within two days.”

The funds can be used for working capital, expansion plans, refinancing a loan, tax payments with terms varying form six months to five years, with no early repayment fees.

Unsecured loans are available from £10,000 to £500,000 for Limited companies and larger partnerships, and £25,000 to £250,000 for sole traders and small partnerships.

Richard Hibbert added: “We anticipate great demand for this service. We have introduced it as part of our commitment to supporting our members and providing benefits that can make a difference to their business success.”
