Small Business Loans: A Practical Route to Growth and Stability

Small Business Loans

Every business journey is unique. Whether you’re expanding your team, investing in new equipment, or navigating seasonal shifts, having access to the right funding can make all the difference.

At Shire Funding, we believe finance should be straightforward, supportive, and tailored to your goals. Our small business loans are designed to help you move forward, on your terms.

What Is a Small Business Loan?

A small business loan provides a lump sum of capital that you repay over time with interest. It’s a flexible way to cover costs, invest in growth, or manage cash flow without giving up control of your business.

We offer loans from £5,000 to £1 million +, with repayment terms ranging from 3 months to 6 years, and fixed interest rates so you always know where you stand.
