    Our Beauty Practice Finance Options

    Cash Flow Loans

    Cash flow loans can be tailored to help you manage the seasonal demands that affect the beauty and cosmetics industry. For example, we know that January often sees a drop in business footfall after the business of Christmas, meaning your revenue is reduced. We work with you to find the right choice of loan for your business, considering all factors so that you never repay more than you need to.

    From instant business loans for those who need a quick injection of cash to short-term loans, which typically last up to 3 years, we’ve got you covered.


    Fit-Out Finance

    The experience of clients is imperative in the beauty and cosmetics industry, and this often starts with the quality of your premises. From waiting areas to treatment rooms, many spaces within each salon or clinic could benefit from a fresh makeover.

    Our fit-out finance for beauty salons and cosmetic practices can modernise your workplace, providing you with the vital funds to freshen up the spaces which your clients use the most. With rates as low as 7% and funding up to £5m, Union Business Finance is committed to supporting your business’s fit-out needs.


    Acquisition & Franchise Finance

    Acquiring an additional business or buying a franchise within the beauty industry can be a great tactic to outperform your competitors and cater for a larger number of clients. However, even the strongest of acquisition strategies cannot be put in place without the right funds.

    Through Union Business Finance, you can manage the purchase of a franchise or existing business without overstretching your finances, allowing you to drive strategic growth and expand your business.

    FAQs


    Do I have to be an established business to apply?

    Yes, our finance is aimed at established businesses with at least 2 years of trading history. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

    How long does the application process take?

    The length of an application for our finance usually depends on the following:

    • The type of finance you’re looking for.
    • How quickly you respond to the lender’s enquiries.
    • Whether you’ve provided all the required documents.

    For example, we can offer same-day finance for our instant business loans, but long-term finance options such as commercial bridging loans for acquiring business property may take around 4 to 6 weeks to arrange.

    What documents are required to apply?

    To access our bespoke beauty salon funding, you’ll typically be asked to provide the following:

    • Business Plan: Outline your business and how the loan will be used.
    • Financial Statements: Income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
    • Tax Returns: Personal and business tax returns for the past few years.
    • Bank Statements: Recent bank statements.
    • Legal Documents: Business licences, registrations, and ownership agreements.

    Are the finance options secured or unsecured?

    This will depend on a number of factors such as the type of salon loan required, amount required, your credit score and more. Contact our team today and we will be able to provide you with more specific information according to your specific needs.

    What if I have an existing loan - can I still apply for more finance?

    Yes, as long as you have healthy cash flow and can demonstrate affordability, you can still apply for more finance even if you have an existing loan. Many beauty salon owners with current financing in place may still qualify for additional funding, depending on factors like repayment history, annual turnover, and cash flow projections.

    At Union Business Finance, we assess each application individually to help you access the support you need to grow your business.
