A flexible overdraft that moves with your business demands
An overdraft could help you deal with seasonal trends and short-term cashflow challenges. Borrow up to £50,000 unsecured – the money could be available to you in days.
A business overdraft provides you with access to additional funds up to an agreed amount that you can use as and when you need to. They can help with cashflow issues and unexpected expenses, and may be preferable to a business loan because you only pay interest on the overdraft balance.
Unsecured overdrafts of up to £50,000 available to help with your day-to-day cashflow
Easy to arrange
Faster access to funds (if unsecured is approved)

* EAR means Effective Annual Rate. We provide it to let you make comparisons against other overdraft products. To calculate the EAR, we take both your interest rate margin and the current Bank of England Base Rate, which you are charged on your overdraft, and compound it every month over a year. The EAR does not include any fees or charges that apply to your overdraft. It also does not take account of any future Bank of England Base Rate changes. There may be an overdraft fee applied to cover the cost of providing it.
* Rep EAR - representative Effective Annual Rate (representative EAR) is the advertised rate (or a lower rate) we reasonably expect will be offered to at least 51% of customers, who are accepted for and enter into the overdraft agreement as a result of the advertising or marketing. The rep EAR does not include any future Bank of England Base Rate changes.
