Can I refinance five loans into one?
It may be possible for eligible debts, but not all facilities can always be combined. Lenders review the security, balances, business cash flow and any break or discharge costs.
Will refinancing definitely reduce my interest rate?
No. Rates depend on the new lender’s assessment and the loan structure. The combined cost of interest and fees matters more than a headline rate alone.
Can a longer term reduce my repayments?
Often it can reduce the scheduled instalment, but it can also increase the amount of interest paid over time.
Can I refinance if I have arrears or a less-than-perfect credit record?
Some specialist lenders may still assess the circumstances. Any arrears, defaults and current repayment commitments must be discussed accurately.
Can I switch to interest-only for a period?
Selected secured or commercial facilities may permit an interest-only period, but it is subject to lender approval and normally leaves principal outstanding.
