Is a Business Term Advance Right for Your SME?

Get business term advance funding before you actually need it. No collateral required for stock, growth, or festive season preparation. Fast, simple online applications available.

Running a business means more than just getting through each day. It’s about planning ahead and acting when opportunities come up. Sometimes, that means having extra funds ready before things get busy.

VodaLend Business Funding helps you do exactly that. If you need to boost stock before peak season or invest in growth, a business term advance can give you the breathing room to move forward.

When should you apply?

Don’t wait until you're in a tight spot. The best time to apply is before you need the cash. Think ahead. Maybe sales increase every December. Maybe you’ve landed a new job that needs extra staff. Or maybe you’ve found a deal and don’t want to miss out.

A term advance gives you space to act fast without affecting your daily cash flow. It’s a tool, not just a backup plan.

Use it for the festive rush

The festive season can bring in lots of customers. But only if you’re ready. Prices go up, suppliers get busy, and last-minute stock orders are risky.

With a business term advance, you can buy stock early, get better deals, and avoid the December rush. You’ll be prepared, not scrambling.

Know the difference: Short vs long-term

Every business has different needs. Choose funding that matches your goal.

Short-term funding

  • Repay it in 3 to 12 months
  • Use it for stock, cash flow, or quick opportunities
  • Get fast access to funds
  • No need for collateral
  • Costs a bit more because it's quick and unsecured

Long-term funding

  • Repay it over 1 to 5 years or more
  • Use it for big things like property or equipment
  • Lower monthly payments
  • Good for growth over time
  • Slower approval and often needs collateral

Ask these questions before you apply

Think carefully before you choose any loan:

  • Why do you need the money?
  • Can you manage the repayments?
  • How fast do you need the funds?

Match your choice to your business goals, not just your current stress.
