Interactive route and range checker
Commercial finance route and range checker
Direct answer: choose what the business needs and enter an approximate amount. The tool explains possible starting routes for the figure or calculates common invoice-finance advance examples. It is a private on-page guide, not a quote, application or eligibility decision.
NBS Finance is a commercial finance broker and introducer, not a lender. A provider sets availability, pricing, security and terms after assessment.

Use an approximate figure. The result explains the relevant public range and what a provider would still need to assess.
Indicative routes used by the calculator

Funding-calculator questions
Is the calculator a finance quote?
No. It is an information tool using published enquiry ranges and arithmetic examples. It does not calculate interest, repayments, fees or an approval.
Does using it affect my credit record?
No. The calculator does not perform a credit search or contact a provider. A later application can involve checks explained by the provider.
Are the invoice-finance figures guaranteed?
No. The 80%, 90% and 95% figures are gross examples applied to the eligible invoice value entered. Usable cash may be lower after limits, reserves, disputes, credit notes, concentration and charges.
Why does asset refinance not show a fixed cash figure?
The possible amount depends on an acceptable valuation, ownership, existing settlement balance, condition, useful life and provider criteria. Showing a fixed percentage before those facts would be misleading.
Is anything I enter saved or submitted?
No. The route and amount stay in the page while you use the tool. The separate funding-enquiry form is the place to submit details if you choose to proceed.
Checking a larger business-loan amount?
A figure above £1 million is a request for individual review, not an automatic rejection or approval. Use the large business-loan guide to prepare the repayment case, existing borrowing and possible security. The checker does not identify a lender, assess affordability or calculate an offer.
