The commitments your limited company or LLP already carries are central to any decision. Affordability is about whether new repayments fit alongside what the business is already paying.
Why existing commitments matter
Every existing repayment uses part of the company's monthly cash flow. The more that is already committed, the less headroom there is for new borrowing, which directly affects what we can responsibly offer.
What we look at
- Other finance the company is repaying
- Regular obligations such as leases and supplier terms
- How reliably those commitments are being met
What this means for you
A business with light commitments and steady income usually has more room for an offer. A business already stretched may be offered a smaller amount, a different product, or declined. Reducing existing commitments before reapplying can change the picture.
The repayment in any offer reflects the headroom the assessment found. There is no fixed figure that applies to every company.
