What is business debt consolidation?

Business debt consolidation is the process of combining multiple debts into one new loan. So, instead of managing various repayments, they’re combined into one streamlined payment plan.

You can use business debt consolidation finance to help pay off a mix of outstanding business loans, asset finance and other credit facilities, like business credit cards.

How do Business Consolidation Loans work?

The consolidation process is designed to simplify your debts into one manageable plan.

  1. Calculate the total outstanding amount of debt that you want to consolidate. You’ll need to add up the balances from all of your loans, credit cards and other facilities. 

  2. Apply to a new lender for one, singular loan that covers the total amount. At this point, you’ll agree on an interest rate and repayment terms.

  3. The new loan will pay off all the existing debts in full.

  4. You’re left with one loan from one lender to pay off over an agreed period.

Business debt consolidation vs debt refinancing

Business debt consolidation and refinancing are both strategies that involve securing a new loan to help manage existing finance obligations. But they serve different purposes.

Business debt consolidation

As mentioned, debt consolidation involves combining multiple existing debts into a single, new loan.

The main goal is to simplify your finances by replacing multiple due dates, interest rates and creditors with one predictable monthly payment.

💡 Consolidation is the ideal choice if you’re juggling various high-interest loans or credit facilities.

Business debt refinancing

Debt refinancing involves paying off a single loan with a new one, often from a different lender.

With this solution you don’t typically group outstanding debts. Refinancing is typically about securing better interest rates, terms or repayment options by moving the debt from one provider to another.

💡 Refinancing is the ideal choice when market rates drop or your business’s financial health has improved since the original loan was secured, meaning you’re eligible for better terms.

What Business Loans can you consolidate?

You can typically combine any high-interest, short-term, or revolving credit facility that is straining your business's cash flow into one simplified loan.

Term Loans and Lines of Credit

Combine multiple outstanding loans - which may have high payments, inflexible terms or different maturity dates - into a single loan with one longer, fixed repayment schedule.

Business Credit Cards

Consolidate your balances from one or more business credit cards to escape high variable interest rates. This also means you can replace your revolving debt with a predictable, fixed-rate term loan.

Revenue Based Finance

Use consolidation to pay off short-term, daily or weekly repayment obligations from revenue based finance products, replacing them with a fixed, less frequent monthly payment.

Asset Based Loans

If the terms of your existing asset based facility are unfavourable or due to mature soon, you can include them in a consolidation loan to extend the payment timeline and potentially secure a lower overall rate.

Benefits of Business Consolidation Loans

Possible cost savings

You could reduce your overall interest costs by combining high-rate debts into one, lower-rate loan.

Improved cash flow

Consolidating often means extended repayment terms, which means lower monthly payments.

Simplified repayments and bookkeeping

Stop juggling multiple due dates and lenders. Manage one monthly payment and simplify the admin.

Potentially better terms

Applying for a new loan could open you up to better terms, with a tailored repayment schedule.

Better financial control

With just one loan you’ll have better visibility and control over your long-term financial planning.
