Why Consider a VAT Loan?
Paying VAT is an unavoidable expense, whether it’s due monthly, quarterly, or annually. A large VAT bill can significantly impact your cash reserves, making it challenging to cover other essential business costs. A VAT loan allows you to break this payment into manageable instalments, preventing cash flow disruptions.
What Is a VAT Loan?
A VAT loan is a short-term business finance solution designed to help you pay your VAT obligations on time. With approvals in as little as 24-48 hours, these loans ensure you can settle your HMRC bill promptly, avoiding late fees and penalties. Depending on your needs, repayment terms can range from a few months to over a year.
Loans to pay VAT are much like any other loan. You apply for the loan with a trusted lender, and they assess your application. If you’re eligible, they can approve funds quickly. You can then use these funds to pay HMRC directly, or some lenders will pay HMRC on your behalf. You’ll repay the lender usually in regular instalments until the debt is repaid in full.
You can apply for it to cover either part or all of your VAT bill. This gives you breathing space and peace of mind that the bill is covered on time without depleting your working capital reserves in one go.

To qualify for a VAT loan, your UK business must be VAT-registered and have a trading history of at least 12 months. Lenders tailor VAT loans to suit individual business needs, so to speed up your loan application, you can prepare the following documents:
• VAT return
• Business bank account statements
• Company accounts
• Additional information about the business directors
Note: If you don’t meet the eligibility criteria, we have plenty of other business funding options available.
Unsecured business loans provide businesses with upfront capital without the need for collateral. Unlike secured loans, these do not require assets such as property or equipment to be used as security.
With an unsecured business loan, you receive a lump sum from the lender and repay it through fixed monthly instalments at a pre-agreed interest rate. The repayment period can vary depending on the lender and the amount borrowed. Since there is no security involved, interest rates tend to be higher than those of secured loans.
There are various unsecured business loan options available in the UK, offering flexible terms to suit different business needs. These loans are ideal for businesses looking for quick access to funds without the risk of tying up valuable assets.
No, a VAT bridging loan is different from a standard VAT loan. A VAT bridging loan bridges the financial gap for property developers when they purchase a property but don’t have the upfront funds to pay the 20% VAT.
Commercial property can be expensive, so the VAT bill can be pretty big, too. The VAT bridging loan means they can complete the purchase without worrying about available funds.
