White Oak UK Business Finance
Asset finance
Hire purchase, lease finance, and commercial loans are available for a variety of assets, including vehicles, catering equipment, machinery, technology, and more. Specialist products are also available, including refinancing, biomass boiler financing, and farming equipment financing.
Business loans
Both short and long term loans are available. Your business can borrow from £2000 to £500,000 and repay it over 3 months to 5 years. According to White Oak UK, 4 out of 5 applications are accepted and you can receive your finance within 24 hours. There are no early repayment fees.
Interest-only loans are also available, which are a 3-month agreement where the business repays just interest in months 1 and 2 and then settles the full balance in month 3. This type of loan is designed for short term cash flow issues only.
Commercial mortgages
Loans are available from £25,000 (max 70% LTV) for commercial property purposes. The maximum repayment term is 25 years and interest repayments are tax deductible. Just like the other finance types, 4 out of 5 applications are accepted and your account will be managed by an individual account manager, so you’ll always speak to the same person when you contact White Oak UK.
