What are sole trader loans?
Because sole traders work for themselves, without operating through a limited company or partnership, it can be harder to borrow for business purposes. A sole trader loan is a finance solution suitable for people who choose to work in this way.
A Spotcap unsecured business loan offers significant benefits to anyone looking for a sole trader loan. The application process uses technology to save time, by relying as far as possible on uploads of standard reports rather than asking you to fill in forms.
The approval process is based on a unique system that analyses the financial condition of your business. When you are approved to borrow, you choose how much finance to take and pay interest on, subject to the overall credit limit.

Is a Spotcap unsecured loan available to a sole trader?
Spotcap is willing to loan to all forms of business, whether a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company. We understand that many sole traders run successful commercial operations and have the same finance needs as other businesses.
As a sole trader, you are looking for a loan that’s adaptable to your circumstances. Our unique approach to a Spotcap loan provides the flexibility sole traders require. Once it’s approved, the loan begins as a line of credit, making it your choice when and how much to withdraw.
Whatever amount you choose to draw down is converted into a loan, usually repayable over 7 to 15 months. It remains flexible - you only pay interest on what you borrow and you can select to make early repayments without incurring any penalty charges.
