Fast, Flexible Funding to Upgrade or Renovate Your Business Premises
Refurbishing your business premises can be an important step in improving customer experience, increasing productivity and keeping your environment modern, safe and efficient. Whether you’re updating a shop, restaurant, office, warehouse, clinic or workspace, refurbishment projects often require significant upfront investment which can place pressure on cashflow.
Refurbishment finance provides fast, flexible funding that allows you to carry out essential improvements while spreading the cost over a manageable repayment term. This helps you upgrade your premises without delaying projects or disrupting your day-to-day operations.
What Is Refurbishment Finance?
Refurbishment finance is a form of business funding designed to help companies renovate, redesign or upgrade their commercial premises. Instead of paying large costs upfront, you can access the funds immediately and repay over a fixed period, making it easier to manage cashflow while completing improvement works.
This type of finance is commonly used for internal fit-outs, layout changes, aesthetic upgrades, repair work, equipment improvements and sector-specific refurbishments. It is suitable for both tenant-occupied and business-owned premises.
How Does Refurbishment Finance work?
1. Apply in Minutes
During your application, lenders typically request:
- Basic business details
- Six months of business bank statements
- Your most recent year-end accounts
- Information or quotes for the planned refurbishment work
With clear documentation, the process is fast and straightforward.
2. Lender Assessment
Lenders will assess factors such as:
- Your trading performance and revenue stability
- Cashflow health and affordability
- The scale and purpose of the refurbishment
- Quoted costs and expected benefit to the business
- Whether the loan should be unsecured or lightly secured
This ensures the funding supports your project without placing strain on long-term finances.
3. Repayments
Once approved, you receive the funds directly and can begin your refurbishment project. Your new loan typically includes:
- A fixed repayment term
- Clear monthly instalments
- Flexible short- to medium-term options
- Predictable costs aligned with your financial planning
This structure makes it easier to complete refurbishments without impacting day-to-day operations.
What Can Refurbishment Finance Be Used For?
Refurbishment finance can support a wide range of commercial renovation projects, including:
- Shop refits and layout changes
- Restaurant, café and bar refurbishments
- Office improvements and redesigns
- Warehouse upgrades or reconfiguration
- Salon, spa and clinic renovations
- Reception, waiting area and customer-facing enhancements
- New flooring, lighting and decoration
- Interior repairs, painting and joinery
- Kitchen, bathroom and staff-area upgrades
- Compliance improvements such as accessibility, heating or safety systems
If the project improves your premises, enhances customer experience or supports better productivity, refurbishment finance can help.
Who Is Refurbishment Finance Suitable For?
Refurbishment finance may be the right solution if:
- You want to upgrade or modernise your business environment
- You need to complete renovation work without draining cash reserves
- You’re preparing for increased customer demand
- You want to reposition your brand with an updated store or workspace
- Your premises require essential repairs or improvements
- You want a professional, welcoming space that reflects your business standards
- You’re moving into new premises and need a fit-out before opening
This type of funding works particularly well for retail, hospitality, service-based businesses, offices, clinics and growing SMEs.
