Main points to consider with Royal Finance

If you are a business owner, Royal Finance offers a number of different financial options, including invoice finance, private mortgages, development loans, debt consolidation, caveat loans and bridging loans.

Royal Finance specialises in quick-turnaround bespoke business loans. It claims to be able to offer financial solutions in situations where customers may have been refused finance by a bank or need business capital quickly.

Most of its loans do not require credit checks as all loan offers are based on your current financial situation and on your business assets and turnover.

• No security required. This is the only product offered by Royal Finance that does not require a property as security. These loans are secured against your invoices.
• Line of credit. Debtor finance is effectively a line of credit which is linked to your accounts receivable. You can borrow against any one or multiple of your invoices.
• Only pay for what you borrow. While you may be able to link this service to your whole invoice ledger, you only pay for any invoices that you borrow against.
• 80% of invoice funding. Get funded up to 80% of your outstanding invoices up-front. The remaining will be paid to you upon client payment.
• From 2.5% cost per invoice. Costs for this service start at 2.5% of the invoice value.
