Our self-employed loans for UK residents come with repayment terms of between 1 and 20 years. The right term for you will depend on your preferences and financial situation. Choosing a shorter term usually means you’ll pay less in interest, whereas longer term loans come with smaller monthly repayments.

You can use our handy online loan form and discuss with one of our expert advisers to see what your repayments might be with different term lengths.

We always aim to fund approved loans as quickly as possible. In the past, we have been able to transfer funds to customers within a few days of their application being approved, but this will depend on how quickly we receive all your documentation, among other factors.
