At a glance

Small Business Loans available from between £1,000 and £25,000 with repayment terms of between 12 months and 10 years.

11.3% Representative APR for loans up to and including £10,000.
7.1% Representative APR for loans over £10,000.

See ‘Representative Examples’ under the ‘Important Information’ section below. Lending is subject to credit status. Terms and conditions apply. Missed repayments can affect your credit rating.

The interest rate is fixed for the term of the loan and agreed at the outset. Interest is charged throughout the full loan including any month when a repayment is not made. No arrangement fee. Repayments to be made by Direct Debit.

No requirement to open or maintain an HSBC Business Current Account unless a debenture or fixed charge over book and other debts is required

Security may be required – each case is considered on its individual merits. If security is required, an administration fee will be payable.

You have the option to defer your first repayment for 3 or 6 months after the funds have been made available, or take a January repayment holiday for each year of your loan which will increase the overall term of your loan by an extra month for each year, for example, a two-year loan would have an overall term of 26 month.

In all cases interest is charged throughout the full term of the loan, including the deferred or January holiday. This will increase the total interest charged and the total amount payable over the full term of the loan. These options are not available when you apply on line and cannot be added later.

No charges for additional repayments. You can repay your loan early and may be entitled to an interest rebate. However, where a loan is repaid early we will deduct interest of one month and 28 days from your interest rebate, which will be included in the loan settlement figure.

Green SME Cashback Fund

You can apply for cash back from the Green SME Cashback Fund, if the loan supports an eligible purpose

Our £15bn lending fund could be the cash boost to help you realise your ambitions.
