Fast and flexible finance for your Garage business

With 41.7 million licensed vehicles on UK roads according to the Department for Transport, the demand for vehicle servicing and mechanical care has never been higher. At the same time, competition is growing. There are over 42,000 service locations employing more than 64,000 qualified MOT testers across the UK. In such a crowded market, staying ahead means investing in your garage, your equipment, and your team.

But funding those investments isn’t always straightforward. Whether it’s purchasing a new garage, upgrading old equipment, or managing day-to-day cash flow, many garage owners struggle to find finance that works with their business rather than against it.

That’s where a merchant cash advance comes in. Designed for businesses that take card payments, it’s a flexible, easy-to-manage funding solution. Repayments adjust with your sales meaning if you have a slow month, you pay less, but if your have a busy month, you pay faster. Unlike traditional loans with fixed monthly payments, it keeps your cash flow stress-free and adapts to the ups and downs of your business.

We’ve already helped businesses across the UK in the automotive industry including independent garages, mobile mechanics, body repair shops, and MOT service stations access the finance they need to grow. Apply today to get your free, no-obligation quote and see how we can help your garage thrive.
