How Jolt helps

A business in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Stirling, Falkirk, Livingston, Lanarkshire, Paisley, Dundee, Perth or nearby areas may need a loan because the timing is tight and the purpose is specific.

Jolt can help make the request clearer for lenders, especially where the loan is for stock, VAT, payroll, poor credit, HMRC pressure, refurbishment or expansion funding.

What lenders may review

Lenders may review turnover, profit, bank conduct, existing borrowing, tax position, credit profile, sector, purpose of funds and repayment affordability.

Funding can be harder where the issue is ongoing loss-making trading rather than a clear, temporary or growth-related need.

Easy first step

Useful documents include bank statements, accounts, management figures, funding amount, purpose, existing debt details and any supporting quotes, orders or tax information.

Start with what you need, why you need it and how the business expects to repay it. Jolt can help shape the enquiry from there.

How Jolt makes the next step easier

You do not need to know the perfect lender at the first step. Jolt looks at the funding purpose, timing, documents and likely route, then helps shape the enquiry around lender appetite.

Start with the amount, what the money is for and how quickly it is needed. If the route is not obvious, the enquiry can still be reviewed without turning this page into another form.
