A flexible business loan for a travel agency with a difference

Funding your travel agency or tour operator business has never been easier thanks to a flexible form of finance called a merchant cash advance. Whether you operate from a traditional office or run an online agency, this solution is ideal if your business accepts credit and debit card payments.

Unlike typical business loans that demand fixed monthly repayments regardless of your performance, an advance is linked directly to your card sales. This means you only repay when a customer pays by card, making it a natural, fluid way to manage your borrowing alongside your day-to-day revenue.

As any travel professional knows, sales can be highly seasonal. Summer holidays, winter breaks, and other peak periods can cause significant fluctuations in bookings. With this funding, repayments adjust automatically, so, quieter weeks mean lower repayments, while busy months allow you to pay off the advance faster.

The funding is also unsecured, so you don’t need to tie up personal or commercial assets, such as your property, to access the capital you need.

We’ve helped tour operators, travel agencies, coach travel providers, specialist tour attractions, and holiday companies to manage cash flow, fund expansion, and develop their businesses. Apply today to receive your free, no-obligation quote and discover how flexible funding can help your travel business thrive.

Travel agency business loans can be used for any purpose, such as:

  • Recruiting new travel sales agents and call centre staff
  • Cover cash flow and unexpected short-term expenses
  • Advertising and marketing campaigns to promote new business
  • Refurbishments, renovations and extensions to your office space
  • Invest in new IT infrastructure and travel management software
  • Purchasing equipment such as computers, monitors, printers, office furniture etc
  • Building a professional website, especially if you're an online travel agent (OTA)
  • Creating and developing your brand image
  • Launch new speciality services such as wedding and honeymoon packages, adventure tours, sports events travel and more

A travel agency business loan is a funding solution that can help businesses that operate in the travel and tourism industry. This type of funding can be used to accelerate business growth, pay employees, or cover unexpected expenses.

Travel agencies can typically access funding from £3,000 up to £300,000, depending on their monthly card sales. The amount you’re eligible to borrow is based on your average monthly card revenue. For example, if your business processes £30,000 per month in card payments, you could qualify for an advance of up to £30,000, or in some cases, even more.

A merchant cash advance works differently from a traditional travel agency business loan. Instead of fixed monthly repayments, the amount you can borrow, and how you repay it, is based entirely on your credit and debit card sales.

Each time a customer books a trip and pays by card through your merchant gateway, a small, agreed percentage of that sale automatically goes toward repaying your advance.

For example, if you agree to repay 10% of your card sales, and a customer spends £1,000, £100 (10%) would go directly to the lender, and you keep £900. This process continues seamlessly with every card transaction until the advance is fully repaid.

Yes, if your startup travel agency business has been trading for over 3 months, you can apply for a business loan. Unfortunately, we can't help companies that are not trading.

To be considered for business funding, your travel agency business must meet the following minimum criteria:

  • Business must operate in the UK
  • Trading for a minimum of 3 months
  • Accept customer card payments by card machine or online
  • Exceed £3000 a month in card sales

Don't worry if you don't quite meet the criteria, as we may still be able to help!

Applying is quick and simple. Complete our online application form to get a free, no-obligation quote based on your business and card sales. We’ll automatically match your travel agency with the most suitable funding options. It's fast, easy, and hassle-free.
