Business funding in partnership with YouLend
We understand that cash flow and finances are a huge part of owning a business.
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
- 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.
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.
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.
