With business loans from First Oak Capital, you can take advantage of opportunities
Arranging business loans can be the quickest way to raise cash
With a business term loan from First Oak Capital you can obtain a cash injection fast and use it for almost any business purpose.
A straightforward term loan is spread over 1-6 years with fixed interest charges and fixed monthly payments, giving you the resources you need to manage your cash flow effectively.
An unsecured business loan doesn’t always require security so an excellent credit history is needed and interest rates may be a little higher due to the risk perceived by lenders. Your turnover will dictate how much you can borrow but loans from £25k and loans up to £250k are not unusual.
