Stock purchases, seasonal demand and growth can stretch cash flow. We help explore business funding against the requirement, your trading profile and the repayments the business can support.
Start Your EnquiryBusiness-purpose finance. Fortis is a broker, not a lender.
Secured or unsecured funding can cover stock, operating costs and other defined trading requirements. The structure should reflect the timing of income and expenditure.
An advance linked to future card sales can provide upfront funding. Collection may be linked to agreed sales receipts, but the actual repayment structure is determined by the provider’s contract.
Discuss funding routes for a new business with a clear plan and supporting evidence. Options depend on lender appetite, the proposed use of funds and the applicant’s circumstances.
Discuss introductions for credit facilities and trade-related requirements. Availability and the appropriate regulatory route depend on the product and applicant.
Explore point-of-sale (POS) machines and card payment processing for countertop, portable and mobile use. We discuss introductions based on how your business trades. These are payment services rather than lending facilities.
Discuss introductions for a business bank account suited to your trading structure and day-to-day banking requirements. The account provider determines eligibility, conducts its checks and sets the terms.
This may suit a business managing a seasonal cycle, increasing stock, taking card payments or preparing a new venture with a clear use for the funds.
Funding availability depends on trading history, credit assessment and provider criteria. Personal guarantees or security may be required. A sales-linked collection arrangement still creates a repayment commitment; startup funding is not guaranteed.
We discuss the proposed terms and charges before you decide whether to proceed. All facilities remain subject to provider criteria, status and credit checks.
Our lender network gives us access to over 200 commercial lenders. We approach providers whose criteria fit the enquiry; the number of options available depends on your circumstances.
Tell us what you need to fund, the amount and your preferred timing. We establish the business circumstances before looking at potential routes.
We establish the purpose, amount and timing, then request relevant accounts, statements or forecasts. Card-sales funding may require merchant processing information.
We approach suitable providers and explain the proposed costs, security and next steps. You decide whether to proceed; the lender makes the credit decision.
Fortis is a broker, not a lender. Our broker fee is 1.5% of the loan amount or £2,995, whichever is greater. We may also receive commission from the lender. Lender arrangement, valuation, legal and other charges may apply, depending on the facility.
We arrange finance for business purposes only. We are not authorised or regulated by the FCA and do not give advice or recommendations on regulated products. Enquiries that fall within FCA regulation are introduced to Loan.co.uk Limited, an independent FCA-authorised firm (FRN 718486). We may receive an introduction fee.
Read our fees and disclosuresPotential routes depend on the plan, supporting information, applicant and lender criteria. A startup may have fewer options than an established business. We will explain the available routes without promising approval.
Not necessarily. Collection can be linked to card sales, but the provider’s agreement sets the actual obligations. Compare the total cost and collection terms rather than treating the advance as a standard repayment loan.
Yes. Tell us the purpose, amount and timing of the requirement. We can discuss the relevant categories before preparing the case.
No. The applicant, product and circumstances affect the regulatory position. Fortis does not advise on regulated products; regulated enquiries are introduced to Loan.co.uk Limited.
Start with the amount, purpose and timing. A named case handler will explain the information needed next.
