Common Use Cases
How UK Business Owners Use This Funding
Covering payroll during a growth phase
You've hired ahead of revenue. Working capital ensures your team gets paid on time while new contracts and clients ramp up.
Paying suppliers on time to keep discounts
Many suppliers offer early payment discounts of 2-5%. Working capital lets you take advantage of those terms, and the savings can outweigh the cost of funding.
Investing in inventory before peak season
Stock up before demand surges without draining your operating account. Working capital bridges the gap between investment and revenue.
Managing the gap between invoicing and payment
Your clients pay in 60-90 days, but your costs are due now. Working capital smooths out the cash conversion cycle so you're never waiting on money you've already earned.

FAQ
Common Questions
Working capital loans are specifically designed to fund day-to-day operations like payroll, suppliers, rent, and inventory. They're typically shorter-term and more flexible than general business loans, which are often used for larger investments like equipment or expansion.
Repayment terms are tailored to your business cash flow. We offer flexible schedules that align with your revenue cycle, whether that's weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
Yes. Working capital from Elect can be used for any legitimate business purpose, including payroll, supplier invoices, marketing, rent, tax payments, equipment, or anything else your business needs to keep moving.
We understand that many UK businesses have variable revenue. Our assessment looks at your overall trading pattern and cash flow trends, not just a single month. Seasonal businesses are welcome to apply.
Eligible UK businesses can access between £25,000 and £750,000 in working capital. The amount is based on your business revenue and trading history, not the value of your assets.
Most established UK SMEs qualify. Your business must be UK-registered as a limited company or partnership, have been trading for at least 12 months, and generate a minimum of £25,000 in monthly revenue. We fund businesses across all major industries.
No. Elect Capital does not perform a hard credit check at the initial application stage. You can apply and receive an offer without any impact on your personal or business credit file.
Apply before 2pm and receive a same-day decision. Once you accept an offer, funds are typically transferred within hours. There is no waiting weeks for bank approval or security valuations.
No. Elect Capital's working capital loans are fully unsecured. No property, equipment, or personal assets are required as security, and no personal guarantee is needed.
A business overdraft is a revolving facility that your bank can reduce or withdraw at any time. A working capital loan gives you a fixed, committed amount with clear repayment terms. You know exactly what you have, what you owe, and when — with no risk of the facility being pulled at the worst possible moment.
Yes. VAT, corporation tax, PAYE, and other HMRC liabilities are all eligible uses. Avoiding penalties and interest on late tax payments is one of the most cost-effective uses of short-term working capital.
