The core documents
Typically: recent business bank statements, your latest filed accounts, and current management accounts. For company lending assessed on the business, the focus is the company's cash flow and record.
The information that helps
Know your turnover and profit, work out your affordability, and be clear on the purpose of the loan. A defined purpose signals a considered borrower.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a business plan to apply?
For short-term working capital, usually not a full plan, but a clear purpose helps. For larger or growth borrowing, a concise plan and forecast can strengthen the case.
Will I need to provide personal details?
For a company loan with no personal guarantee, the focus is the business. You will confirm your identity as a director, but the lending decision rests on the company's finances.
