Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a short-term loan and how can I use it?

    Our short-term loans can be used for any legitimate business purpose over terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. This type of finance is ideal for businesses requiring an immediate solution to urgent challenges. With funding typically available within 2 to 48 hours, our loans provide a significantly faster alternative to traditional commercial lending.

  • How do I apply?

    Our initial applications require only soft credit checks through a simple process that needs minimal business information and can be completed in seconds. CLICK HERE TO APPLY.

  • Am I eligible for a short-term loan?

    Any Limited business in the UK can apply for a short-term loan, as long as they have been trading for more than 3 months and has a monthly turnover of £15,000 or more. Simply complete our form to discover if you are eligible. 

  • Can I get a short-term loan with bad credit?

    Our panel of lenders typically underwrites based on business turnover and performance rather than personal credit strength. Some lenders even offer unsecured loans without requiring personal guarantees.

  • Do I need a personal guarantee?

    While most of our lenders require a personal guarantee, some offer unsecured loans without this requirement. All short-term loans are unsecured, meaning no security is required against personal assets for loans up to £100,000.

  • Can I repay my loan early?

    Yes, you can settle your loan early, typically without repayment penalties or redemption fees. However, a minority of lenders may apply fees, which will be clearly disclosed upfront. If early settlement is important or you need borrowing for a specific timeframe, inform your BEAR Finance broker who will ensure you receive only suitable products that meet your requirements.

  • What is the interest rate for a short-term loan?

    Short-term loans offer speed and simplicity compared to traditional commercial loans, though interest rates are higher to reflect this convenience.

  • How much can I borrow and for how long?

    As a broker (not a lender), we can secure multiple loan agreements on your behalf, significantly increasing your borrowing capacity. The maximum available through our short-term lending solutions over terms up to 24 months is £2 million.
