FAQ
Got Capital or Haydock Finance: which is the better UK business finance provider in 2026?
Neither is better for every business. The 'When Got Capital may fit' and 'When Haydock Finance may fit' sections above say who each one suits, and the side-by-side table shows what each lender publishes. Check each lender's own criteria before you apply.
Which is weakest for what?
Got Capital is a poor fit for borrowers wanting fixed-term predictable APR. Haydock Finance is a poor fit for pure unsecured working capital. If either of those describes your business, look at the side-by-side table for the alternative, or read our other lender reviews.

How we ranked these lenders
Every lender is scored on the same four FundBiz criteria: pricing transparency, eligibility clarity, decision speed and treatment of declined applicants. Scores are our own desk-research assessment built from the FCA Register, Companies House filings and each lender's published product sheets, not customer reviews and not hands-on product testing. Each comparison shows the date it was last updated. Inclusion is never paid for. We may be paid by the finance partners we introduce you to. This could be a fixed fee or commission, depending on the partner and the finance arranged. It does not change what you pay. See our full methodology.
