WHAT DOCUMENTS DO WE NEED TO PROVIDE?
When you submit your application through our easy to use online portal, you will need to provide:
- Six months of business bank statements.
- A completed application form – this can be done here.
- Photo ID for all directors and borrowers.
Where relevant, additional documentation related to your collateral may also be required.
DO I NEED TO PROVIDE SECURITY?
Security requirements vary depending on the loan amount, business profile and overall application. A strong asset base may help support approval and increase the loan amount available.
A ScotPac lending specialist can explain what security, if any, may be required before you proceed.
WHAT INTEREST RATE WILL I BE CHARGED?
There’s no single set rate. Yours depends on a few things, including market conditions such as the cash rate, your business’s risk profile, the size of the loan, and whether it’s secured.
Businesses with a stronger asset base, solid credit history or security to support the loan may receive lower rates. A specialist can give you a tailored quote once they understand your situation.
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL FEES?
There are no hidden fees or charges with our Boost Business Loan. ScotPac offers complete transparency with no application fees and no account-keeping fees. Our simple flat facility fee and drawdown fee structure are built into your repayments.
You can access your monthly statement at no additional cost through your customer portal, helping you stay on top of your loan and manage your budget. If you have any questions about fees or charges, our team is here to assist.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO REPAY THE LOAN?
ScotPac’s loan terms are generally between 6 and 36 months. However, each application is considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on your industry, cash flow, and needs.
ARE THERE PENALTIES FOR EARLY PAYOUTS?
No. ScotPac does not charge early payout penalties, so if you’re in a position to clear the loan sooner, you can do so.
CAN I USE A BOOST BUSINESS LOAN TO START A BUSINESS?
Not for a brand-new start-up. A Boost Business Loan is designed for businesses that have been trading for at least 12 months with consistent sales.
That said, if you’re already up and running and want to open a new location or buy into a franchise, we can talk through whether a Boost Business Loan may be suitable.
