Business funding in partnership with YouLend


We understand that cash flow and finances are a huge part of owning a business.

Access funding from £3,000 to £1,000,000 and the convenience of flexible repayments with our partner, YouLend.


How business finance with YouLend works

 

Business funding is offered as a cash advance against your future card receivables. 

Repayment occurs through your terminal or e-commerce platform. When a customer makes a card payment, a fixed percentage of that transaction is allocated to repay the advance. The repayment percentage is chosen by the borrower during the application process and it remains constant regardless of the transaction size, ensuring that your repayment is proportionate to your cash flow.

Business Lending FAQs

What is the eligibility criteria to apply for funding from YouLend?
  • Your business needs to have been trading for 3 months or more.

  • You need to be accepting card payments with Handepay via their preferred acquiring service provider, either with a card machine or online via an e-commerce payment gateway. If you don’t use a preferred provider, an alternative may be available, but you’ll need to contact us.

  • A minimum monthly turnover of £3,000 in card transactions is required.
How much funding can you get?

The level of funding you could receive is dependent on your average card turnover.

Typically, you could receive an advance of up to 2 x your average card turnover, so if you take £10,000 per month on cards you could be eligible for an advance of up to £20,000 in total.

How do I repay my cash advance?

Your advance is automatically repaid from your card revenue.

When your customer pays by card either via your card machine or e-commerce site, a small fixed percentage of that transaction is used to repay the advance.

This percentage is agreed when you sign up and will stay the same regardless of the transaction value, so you’ll always repay proportionately with your cash flow. This process will continue until the advance is fully repaid.

What is a prequalified offer?

Prequalified offers are indicative only and are calculated using up to 12 months’ trading activity of a business of a similar size and type.

These are intended as a guide only, and, as part of the application process, the final amount of funding you are eligible to receive shall be confirmed by YouLend in their sole discretion.
