Is this loan right for my company?

  • UK-registered.
    You’ll need to be a UK-registered limited company with a Starling business account.

  • Unsecured loan.
    You want an unsecured business term loan between £1,000 and £1,000,000.

  • Flexible capital.
    You need flexible capital for cash flow, equipment, or growth.


What’s my interest rate?

You can get an estimate with iwoca’s calculator, and discover your final rate on application. Monthly interest rates start from 1.5%.

Representative example: Borrow £10,000 over 12 months at a fixed rate of 3.33% per 30 days (49% APR representative). Your monthly repayments would be £1,025, with a total amount repayable of £12,294 over the full term. There are no early repayment fees, and you only pay interest for the days you borrow. Your actual rate and repayment amount will vary based on your circumstances.

“Everyone else made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything.
iwoca looked at what I was building and got it.”

Mark says iwoca gave him the flexibility to hire ahead of revenue.
When cash flow is tight between jobs, he can bridge the gap, then repay as soon as clients settle.
