Introducing Flexi-Loan

How is interest calculated on a Flexi-Loan?

With a Flexi-Loan you only pay interest for the period you have the loan and there’s no early repayment penalties.

Example: You borrowed £10,000 at an interest rate of 3.33% per month. You only need the loan for a period of 3 months. The total amount you’d repay is £10,673. *

* Note: interest rates quoted are only for demonstration purposes

The interest is calculated by iwoca on a risk basis and credit assessment. When you complete an application in QuickFile you will be presented with a no obligations offer.

Applying for a Loan in QuickFile

You can apply for an iwoca Flexi-Loan from within your QuickFile account. Simply go to “Account Settings”, “All Settings” then under the “Integrations” tab you will find a link to “iwoca Loans”.

When you start a new application, we will automatically calculate your last 12 month’s turnover and profit. This will be pre-populated to the form along with some other general business information.

All you need to do is review each section and complete any missing information highlighted in red. Once you’re happy you can submit your application to iwoca to see what offers are available. Each loan offer will state the amount, the duration of the loan and the monthly interest rate. You are under no obligation to proceed with any available offers. If you do proceed you will be redirected to the iwoca website to finalise your application.

What is the criteria for obtaining a loan?

As part of the iwoca pilot scheme there are a few limitations to be aware of:

• You must be based in the UK and trading as a Limited Company.
• You must have been trading for over 12 months.
• The application has to be made by a company director.
• You must have a turnover that exceeds £50,000.

iwoca Flexi-Loans are unsecured, however a personal guarantee must be provided by at least one of the directors.

How much can I borrow?

Typically you can borrow up to 15% of your annual turnover. This is subject to other factors such as the results of a credit assessment and profitability.
