    Construction Loans: Reliable Finance from £10,000 to £250,000

    Construction businesses operate in a fast-moving, high-cost environment where cashflow, labour and materials must be managed carefully to keep projects on track. Whether you're taking on new contracts, funding equipment purchases or covering costs while waiting on staged payments, access to the right finance is essential for maintaining momentum.

    With rising material prices, long payment terms and fluctuating workloads, many construction firms require flexible funding to bridge gaps and support growth. Construction business loans provide fast access to capital so you can deliver projects confidently without placing strain on day-to-day operations.

    Fast, Flexible Finance for Construction Businesses

    Construction finance is designed to support the real-world demands of builders, contractors and trades. From covering upfront costs on new projects to investing in equipment or strengthening cashflow between payment milestones, flexible business loans help construction firms stay operational and competitive.

    With quick applications, fast decisions and tailored repayment options, construction finance allows you to focus on completing work, meeting deadlines and securing future contracts without unnecessary financial pressure.

    What Are Construction Business Loans?

    Construction business loans are funding solutions designed to support the operational and growth needs of construction companies. Rather than tying up large amounts of working capital, businesses can borrow a set amount and repay it over an agreed term, helping manage costs more effectively.

    Finance can be used for a wide range of purposes, including labour costs, materials, plant and machinery, vehicles, site setup, refurbishment projects and general working capital. Loan amounts typically range from £10,000 to £250,000, depending on your business performance and affordability.
     

    How Do Construction Business Loans Work?

    Our process is designed to be fast and straightforward, getting you the funding you need with minimal hassle.

    Apply in Minutes

    When applying, lenders typically request:

    • Basic business details

    • Six months of business bank statements

    • Your most recent year-end accounts

    • An overview of how the funds will be used

    • Providing clear and up-to-date information helps speed up the approval process.

    Lender Assessment

    Lenders assess factors such as:

    • Trading history and turnover

    • Cashflow patterns and affordability

    • Contract pipeline and payment terms

    • Overall financial stability

    This ensures the funding structure aligns with your business needs and repayment capacity.

    Repayments

    Once approved, funds are released quickly so you can move forward with confidence. Repayments typically include:

    • Fixed daily, weekly or monthly payments

    • Short- to medium-term loan options

    • Flexible terms based on affordability

    This provides predictable costs while supporting cashflow continuity across projects.

    When Should You Use Construction Business Loans

    Construction finance is ideal when you need to support operations without disrupting cashflow. Common scenarios include:
     
    • Covering upfront labour and material costs
    • Managing long or staged payment cycles
    • Purchasing tools, vehicles or machinery
    • Funding multiple projects simultaneously
    • Bridging gaps between contracts
    • Expanding your workforce
    • Investing in growth or new service areas
    Finance works best when you have clear visibility over contracts, costs and repayment capacity.

    Who Is Eligible for Construction Business Loans?

    You may be eligible if:

    • You operate a UK-registered business

    • Your business has been trading for at least 12 months

    • You have consistent monthly turnover of at least £10,000
