What is Corporation VAT?

Corporation VAT is a tax imposed on customers which they pay anytime they buy vatable goods or services. Corporation VAT is collected from the customers during transactions on behalf of the government and is remitted regularly. Most of the goods and services offered by businesses are vatable.

All companies registered with VAT are required to keep appropriate records so they can report VAT accurately. Once registered; all vatable businesses are obliged to send online returns and pay any VAT due electronically.

What is a VAT Bridging Loan Secured Against?

Because a VAT bridging loan is a speciality product, the requirements differ from one lender to another. However, if you are in the market for a VAT bridging loan, lenders may require you to secure the loan amount against a personal or business asset.

In some cases, the security is kept in a special purpose vehicle until the debt is completely cleared.

That said, it is important to point out that typically, a VAT bridging loan is secured against recovery from the HMRC rather than on property equity.

Can you get an Unsecured VAT Bridging Loan?

Even though most bridging loans have to be secured against an asset, it is possible to get an unsecured VAT bridging loan.

In this situation, you are not expected to pledge either a personal or business asset to the lender when you are getting a VAT bridging loan. However, the lender considers a range of other factors when deciding whether to approve an unsecured bridging loan or not.

Admittedly, getting an unsecured VAT bridging loan is not easy, but it is also not impossible. If an unsecured VAT bridging loan is what you are in the market for, talk to us, so we can explore lender criteria on your behalf and look for a suitable option for you.

Note, however, that a good credit rating may be one of the factors when considering an unsecured VAT bridging loan.

Short-term Bridging Loans for your VAT Finance Needs

VAT on sales of commercial properties can pose serious problems for a business’ cash flow.

Our partner lenders’ special VAT-bridging loans products can allow you to cover due VAT payments, without tying up your business’ cash flow.

These products can be taken out on a short-term or need-to-use basis and the payment spread out over a few months. For many businesses, this is the best way to remain in the good books of the taxman without jeopardising their own business operations.

Why use VAT Bridging Finance?

A VAT bridging loan would allow you to avoid tying up funds that otherwise could be used to continue working on other projects. With HMRC taking as much as 3 months to execute refunds, a VAT bridging finance will relieve you of your cash-flow burden and allow you to carry on with your next development.

VAT bridging finance also gives you peace of mind. Taking out a VAT loan will help you prepare for a lower payment than you would get otherwise since you will be spreading the repayments over a period of months, which can greatly relieve the financial pressure of the process.

Who are VAT Bridging Loans for?

We endeavour to arrange VAT bridging products for individuals, businesses and other brokers. Nevertheless, our lenders may demand that any security be kept in a Special Purpose Vehicle.

How VAT Bridging Loans can help your Business

VAT bridging loans give you the opportunity to access the short-term funds you need to cover the VAT costs required or anticipate to be incurred when you purchase commercial property.

A standard financing package may not be enough for many transactions to cover all the expenses, and many business owners are caught off guard or unaware of the VAT’s additional capital requirement.

A VAT bridging loan comes in to help you clear the final purchase hurdle. VAT regulations are complex and this tax is always applied at the end of a transaction, so it is important to get quick access to the funding you need to cover those extra costs, otherwise, you may encounter problems when it comes to your business expansion plans.

A VAT bridging loan can also help you avoid late payment charges when you delay in remitting corporate tax to the government, as these late charges can add up and quickly put your business further in debt.

What kind of Fees are Involved in a VAT Bridging Loan?

In addition to interest rates, VAT bridging loans also come with additional expenses applicants should know about.

While loan payments can vary significantly based on the unique loan situation, such as factors like the form of security attached to the loan, loan term, and so on, other additional expenses you should be mindful of include:

• a surveyor’s valuation fee (where property is being used as security)
• an exit fee (for lenders that require exit fee)
• an arrangement fee
• a legal fee for both lender and borrower, usually paid for by the borrower.

It is important that you know what fees you will be paying before going forward with any bridging loan plan. If you are not sure how to proceed, get in touch to talk with an expert on our team.

What are the Term Lengths for a VAT Bridging Loan?

Bridging loans can be arranged over terms of anything from a few days to 36 months, in accordance with the agreement between lender and borrower.

What are the Eligibility Criteria for a VAT Bridging Loan?

Bridging lenders usually require that VAT bridging loans be secured against personal or business assets, which are kept in a special vehicle for that purpose. Loans can be secured against one or more property assets.

Additionally, the borrower needs to have a business that is registered and operating in the UK, have a pressing or pending VAT demand from the government, show proof of a viable repayment plan, and in some cases, be required to have a good credit rating – especially for unsecured loans.

Can I Apply for a VAT Bridging Loan if I am a Sole Trader or Partnership?

VAT bridging loans can be accessed by registered UK businesses regardless of business structure. However, lenders have a set of criteria they use to determine eligible borrowers.

What Type of Security can I use when Applying for VAT Bridging Finance?

Typically speaking, these types of specialist loans are based on HMRC recovery rather than on sufficient equity in a property asset. However, it is also possible to use a property asset as security, whether first or second charge as long as there is sufficient equity in the property.

Fixed Monthly Payments

When you take out a VAT bridging loan, you know exactly how much you owe and can plan for it in advance of the end of the loan term. This can greatly relieve the financial pressure of the process.

Flexible Repayment Terms

One beautiful thing about the bridging loans we arrange is that you can opt for a fixed or flexible payment system with the lender. When you choose a flexible payment, you give your business enough cushioning to handle the loan repayments.

Decisions in as Little as 24 Hours

VAT bridging loans can be done easily, often in as little as 24 hours. This means that if your business is eligible and everything about your application checks out, you can get the funds you need to meet your commitments in little or no time.

Faster Payment Transfer

HMRC accepts VAT payments to be made electronically from any source to their accounts. This will allow you to make online payments faster, usually via internet or telephone banking, so they can be processed as soon as possible.

Protects Existing Bank Facilities

Even if you have an existing arrangement with your bank, you can still have access to a VAT bridging loan whether you are an existing customer or a new one. As long as you can meet the lender’s criteria, you stand a very good chance of getting the VAT bridging loan you need to meet your commitments.

Quick and Simple to Arrange

You no longer need to allow a potentially huge VAT bill derail your plans for business expansions. With a VAT bridging loan, you can gain easy access to large amounts of money so you can move quickly to purchase a property or restructure a building and resell it.

Avoid Costly Fees

Using our many years of experience, we aim to help you arrange VAT bridging loans at a competitive rate while avoiding expensive fees.
