Funding that flexes with your business

From merchant cash advances to term loans, we introduce you to FCA-regulated lenders and help you find funding that fits your cash flow.

Business Funding for UK businesses
Overview

A better deal on business funding

Growth, stock, equipment, refurbishment or simply smoothing seasonal cash flow — the right funding at the right moment can make all the difference. The wrong product can weigh a business down. We help you tell them apart.

We work with a panel of FCA-regulated lenders and match your turnover, trading history and needs to suitable options. Merchant cash advances repay as a small percentage of your card takings, so repayments flex with how busy you are. We lay out the real cost so there are no surprises.

The benefits

  • Fast decisions

    Many applications receive a decision within 24–48 hours.

  • Repay as you trade

    Merchant cash advances take a set share of daily card sales — quieter days cost less.

  • Regulated lenders

    We introduce you to FCA-regulated funding partners, and tell you where to verify them.

  • Clear total cost

    You see the full amount repayable up front, in plain figures.

FAQs

Business Funding: your questions answered

What is a merchant cash advance?
It is an advance repaid as a fixed percentage of your future card takings. Because repayments move with your sales, busy periods clear the balance faster and quiet periods cost you less.
Do you provide the funding yourselves?
No. HappyBiz is an introducer. We connect you with FCA-regulated lenders and are not authorised to give regulated financial advice — you should confirm any lender on the FCA Register before signing.
Will applying affect my credit?
Initial eligibility checks are usually soft and do not affect your score. Any formal application terms are always shown to you before you agree to anything.
How quickly can I be funded?
Decisions often come within 24–48 hours and funds can follow shortly after, depending on the lender and product.
