Refinancing: Optimise Your Finances and Free Up Working Capital

While Merchant Capital doesn’t offer refinancing, we believe in helping business owners explore every avenue to secure funding. Here’s what you need to know.

Refinancing can be a powerful tool for businesses looking to reduce costs, improve cash flow, and create financial stability. By adjusting loan terms, securing better interest rates, or consolidating debt, businesses can streamline their finances and focus on growth.

What is Business Loan Refinancing?

Business loan refinancing replaces an existing loan with a new one under better terms. This can help:

  • Lower monthly repayments
  • Reduce overall interest costs
  • Improve financial flexibility

It’s an effective way to manage debt strategically, ensuring that financing aligns with your business’s cash flow and long-term goals.

How Refinancing Works

Refinancing involves several steps:

  1. Assess Current Loan Terms – Understand your existing repayment structure.
  2. Define Your Goals – Do you want lower interest rates? Longer repayment terms? Consolidation?
  3. Compare Loan Offers – Evaluate lenders and refinancing options.
  4. Apply & Get Approved – Secure a new loan with improved terms.
  5. Repay Under New Terms – Use the new loan to settle the existing one.

Refinancing offers businesses a chance to reset their financial strategy, creating room for expansion, reinvestment, or operational stability.

Is Refinancing Right for Your Business?

Before refinancing, you should consider:

  • Current interest rates vs. new offers
  • Associated fees and potential costs
  • Impact on credit score and cash flow
