SimplyFunded offers some of the fastest business loans in the UK. Instant business loans, fast business finance, and business loan instant approval — all with a simple online process.
Apply in 60 SecondsA fast business loan is exactly what it sounds like: a business loan designed to get you funding as quickly as possible. Unlike traditional loans that can take weeks to process, fast business loans use technology and streamlined underwriting to deliver a decision within hours. Funds are then transferred the same day.
These loans are ideal for urgent needs. Perhaps your van has broken down and you need it repaired to keep making deliveries. Maybe a customer has placed a large order but you need working capital to buy the materials. Or you have spotted an opportunity that requires immediate investment. Whatever the reason, fast business loans are designed to remove the friction from borrowing.
SimplyFunded specialises in providing fast business finance to UK SMEs. Our fully online application, open banking verification, and dedicated team mean we can process applications rapidly without compromising on responsible lending standards.
The process is straightforward. You apply online, we review your business performance, and if approved, the money lands in your account. Here is a closer look at how it works:
Complete our online form with your company details, director information, and desired loan amount. The form takes less than 60 seconds to fill in.
Using secure open banking technology, you connect your business bank account. We review your revenue and cash flow to assess affordability. This step is read-only and does not impact your banking arrangements.
Our team reviews your application and provides a business loan instant decision. Most applicants hear back within hours. If approved, we send you a clear offer with no hidden fees.
Accept the offer and the funds are transferred to your business account, often within hours. You can start using the money immediately for whatever your business needs.
Speed is the defining feature of fast business loans. Here is a realistic timeline of what to expect with SimplyFunded:
This timeline applies to most straightforward applications. In some cases, additional information may be required, which could extend the process slightly. But compared to traditional lenders that take weeks, even our longest cases are fast.

No paperwork, no branch visits, no complicated forms. Our application takes 60 seconds and can be completed from your phone or computer at any time.
What you see is what you pay. There are no arrangement fees, early repayment penalties, or surprise charges. We are FCA authorised and committed to transparent lending.
We evaluate your business on revenue, cash flow, and trading history. Many businesses declined by banks qualify because we look beyond the credit score.
Weekly or monthly repayments that stay the same throughout the term. No fluctuating interest rates, no surprises.
Use the funds for stock, staff, equipment, marketing, or cash flow. We trust you to decide what your business needs most.
