VAT Loans explained

October 23, 2024

As a business owner, you understand how demanding and frustrating it is to pay back VAT every quarter, especially when cashflow is tight. 

You are required by law to pay VAT quarterly and if you fail to do so, you may face costly fines imposed by HMRC. If you fail to pay your VAT bill, you’re also more likely to be subjected to a VAT inspection in the future. But a VAT loan can save you from paying fines and from being on HMRC’s radar.  

A VAT loan is a type of unsecured short-term business loan which helps business owners cover their VAT bills if they are unable to. 

When you’re unable to meet your tax bill, VAT finance is the solution for your business. We understand that it’s imperative you pay the VAT due on time. This is why JD Capital Finance focuses on creating funding opportunities for businesses in various industries. We want to help businesses like yours to achieve growth and become more profitable.

How does a VAT loan work with Spark?

There are many factors driving business owners to seek business finance. The most common is slow cash flow in the business. 

For example, a clothing retailer charges buyers VAT on each piece of clothing sold. The business owner collects this tax (effectively on behalf of HMRC) and every quarter is required to pay the total sum back to HMRC. However, the business owner needs to buy stock for ongoing sales. Usually, they reinvest the money they claim for VAT into their business instead of putting the money to one side. 

When the time comes to pay the VAT bill, it is often the case, the business is not able to afford the VAT repayment. This creates a cashflow problem. 

A solution to this is VAT finance, otherwise known as a VAT loan. A business can apply for a VAT loan through JD Capital Finance who will source the most appropriate funder for their needs. 

Once the the application is successful, the lender will pay the VAT directly to HMRC. Then, the business repays the lender in monthly instalments over a pre-agreed term - just like any other typical loan. 

A VAT loan allows you to reinvest the money back into your business and allows you to take control of your finances and manage your cashflow more effectively. 

Businesses can access funding from £1,000 to £500,000, depending on their circumstances, which is repaid with interest.

JD Capital Finance's VAT loans are:

  • Quick to arrange and are usually processed within 24 hours.
  • They require minimal paperwork.
  • Fixed monthly repayments. 
  • They’re accessible to most businesses who require assistance with their VAT bills.
