Flexible funding for your garden centre business

There are an estimated 1,500 garden centres and retail nurseries in the UK, and we’ve already helped many find the finance they need to grow. A garden centre is more than just a shop, it’s a day out for many customers. Research from The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) shows that over two-thirds of British adults visit a garden centre every year.

Garden centres are treated as attractions, where visitors can browse plants, flowers, shrubs, outdoor furniture, garden tools, and more. Many centres also include cafés and restaurants, creating a space where people can relax, socialise, and spend time, even if they don’t have a specific purchase in mind.

To keep your garden centre thriving, it’s vital to reinvest and stay ahead of the competition. This includes maintaining a well-stocked nursery, creating a strong online presence through e-commerce and social media, enhancing branding across your site and vehicles, and ensuring your premises encourage visitors to stay longer.

Access to fast, flexible funding can make all the difference. A merchant cash advance allows you to raise the finance you need quickly and easily. Unlike traditional business loans or bank loans, the application is simple, approvals are fast, and funds can be available in just a couple of days.

Repayments are linked to your card sales, meaning that when sales are slow, repayments are lower, providing seasonal cashflow support. Whether you’re looking to expand your nursery, improve your premises, enhance your online store, or invest in on-site cafés and attractions, a merchant cash advance can help you grow your garden centre and keep your visitors returning.

A merchant cash advance for your garden centre can provide funding in as little as 24 hours**. The application process is quick and straightforward, and approvals can often be given on the same day. This means you don’t have to wait weeks for a decision like you would with a traditional bank loan.

A merchant cash advance gives your garden centre the funding it needs without the rigid terms of traditional commercial loans. Repayments are taken as a small percentage of your card sales, so they naturally adjust with your revenue meaning you only pay when you earn. The percentage is agreed upfront and can be set at a level that works for your business, giving you control over your cash flow.

Unlike conventional loans, it's unsecured, meaning none of your assets are at risk. There are no fixed monthly repayments, no long approval processes, and no lengthy paperwork. This makes it faster, simpler, and less stressful than bank loans, overdrafts, or other forms of commercial finance, while still giving you the funding you need to invest in stock, facilities, marketing, or seasonal improvements.

Absolutely! A merchant cash advance doesn’t rely on your credit score like traditional high street lenders or banks do. So even if you have a poor credit rating, we can still help your business access fast and flexbile finance it needs to grow.

Apply now and get a quick decision.

We can help garden centres and nurseries at any stage of trading, from new businesses with a few months of trading history to established operations. You could be eligible for a garden centre business loan if your business meets the following criteria:

  • Based in the UK as a Limited company or sole trader
  • Trading for at least 3 months with card payment history
  • Accepts card payments, either in-person or online
  • Monthly card sales exceed £3,000

Unfortunately, startups without a trading history are not eligible.

A garden centre business loan can be used for a wide range of purposes to help your business grow. You can use the funding to replenish stock such as ornamental crops, bedding plants, cut flowers, pot plants, outdoor furniture, sheds, gazebos, garden tools, and machinery.

For garden centres looking to expand their offerings, the loan can also be used to develop on-site cafés or restaurants to attract more visitors. Online sales are increasingly important, so the funding can support website improvements, eCommerce functionality, and marketing campaigns to reach more customers.

Whether you’re investing in stock, facilities, or marketing, we have the funding to help you grow and improve your business.

Not at all. With a merchant cash advance, there’s no need to submit a business plan. This keeps the process simple and fast, so you can get the funding you need without unnecessary paperwork or delays.

Applying is quick and simple. Complete our online application form with a few basic details about your garden centre, and we’ll provide a no-obligation quote fast. You’ll know exactly how much funding you could access, helping you plan and grow your business with confidence.
