UK means the whole UK
Companies House registers companies in England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. All are UK limited companies. Some Scottish security arrangements differ in detail, but for an unsecured, no-personal-guarantee cash-flow loan the assessment is the same wherever you are registered.
What is assessed
The company's evidenced turnover, conduct and affordability — identical criteria nationwide. Your registered nation does not change eligibility or the affordability test.
Applying
Wherever in the UK you are registered, show your trading and apply online.
Frequently asked questions
Do lenders treat Scottish companies differently?
Not for an unsecured cash-flow loan. Scottish security law differs in some technicalities, but eligibility and assessment are the same across the UK.
Can a Northern Ireland company get UK business finance?
Yes. A Northern Ireland-registered limited company is a UK company and borrows on the same terms as one registered elsewhere in the UK.
