Barber shop funding made easy

The UK is home to 63,800 hair and beauty businesses, including gentlemen’s barbering, shaving, and beard trimming. With new barber shops opening every day, investing in your business is essential to stay a cut above the competition.

If you’re looking for a business loan for your barber shop, our merchant cash advance offers a fast, unsecured way to fund your business needs. Unlike traditional bank loans with fixed monthly repayments, this funding is repaid through your future card sales. Busy month? You pay back faster. Slower month? You pay less. Repayments move in line with your revenue.

You can borrow anywhere from £3,000 to £300,000, and the funding can be used for any purpose such as upgrading equipment, refurbishing your shop, marketing, hiring staff, or expanding services. As an unsecured product with no APR, there’s no fixed term, giving your barber shop the flexibility it needs.

We know running a barber shop keeps you busy, so the process is quick and straightforward. Apply online today, and one of our financial experts will guide you through your options and help you access funding fast.

Yes, barber shop equipment financing is one of the main reasons businesses use this type of business loan. You can use it to fund the purchase of any hair, shaving and beard trimming equipment, including barber chairs, clippers and more!

Repayments are made automatically every time you make a card sale. You only pay back a small percentage of the value of your future credit and debit card transactions. Typically, this is around 10%, but it can be less or more depending on your circumstances and what you're comfortable with.

For example, if a customer pays £12.50 using their credit card for a haircut, £11.25 goes straight to your bank, and £1.25 (10%) will go towards repaying the advance.

Remember, all of your cash sales are not affected, meaning that you keep 100% of cash income.

Your barber shop can qualify for finance if your business:

  • Is based in the UK
  • Has been trading for over 3 months
  • Operates as a sole trader or limited company
  • Accepts card payments through a PDQ card machine
  • Has at least £3,000 per month in card turnover

Don't worry if you're a start-up and have been trading for less than three months – we may still be able to help you.
