Business Loans for Restaurants

The product works with your customer debit and credit card sales. That means whenever a customer pays for their food and drink bill by card, a percentage of that sale will be used to repay the loan automatically.

If you have been hesitant to get restaurant funding because you’re worried about managing repayments, an advance could be perfect for you. With no fixed monthly repayments to worry about, you will only ever pay what you can afford because repayments fall directly in line with cash flow.

For example, if your restaurant has a quiet month, your repayments will naturally reflect that. This makes it great for seasonal businesses like restaurants, whose income naturally fluctuates throughout the year.

We offer restaurant funding for all sorts of businesses in the hospitality industry within the UK and Ireland. It doesn’t matter what type of dining establishment you operate, whether it's a fast-food business, takeaway, fine dining venue, bistro, or brasserie, we can help your startup or small business get quick access to finance without the hassle.

There are no limits. Restaurant loans can be used for any purpose, from upgrading kitchen equipment or refurbishment to launching a brand new marketing campaign to draw new customers in. There are plenty of things to invest in to improve your restaurant that a business loan could help with.

Refurbishment and development of your restaurant

Funding for restaurant kitchens

By modernizing and upgrading your commercial kitchen equipment, you can become more efficient, therefore saving money and making more money in the long term. Investing in your kitchen appliances and kitchen layout with a business cash advance can help your foodservice business become even more productive.

Marketing your restaurant

There is so much competition online, and you need your restaurant business to be at the top of Google search as well as having easy functionality for online bookings and ordering. Employing a social media agency or handling marketing internally will require funding. Our funding can enable you to employ great professional photography, social media marketing via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Help with funding to print superb menus and advertise in magazines and local press.

Funding for new or upgrading restaurant booking systems

Yes, if you're a restaurateur looking to expand your portfolio, you can use a business loan to help buy or start a restaurant. However, we can not support businesses that are not trading as the funding is raised against card sales.

No, a business plan is not required to make a decision. This saves you time and ultimately speeds up the lending process.

Yes, you can! If your restaurant or takeaway receives food orders via apps like Just Eat, Uber Eats or Deliveroo, you can get a business loan advance based on these customer card sales.
