How SellersFunding works

SellersFunding operates as a e-commerce working capital and term loan provider in the UK SMB market. US-headquartered e-commerce financier with a UK operating entity (CN 11951536) lending to Amazon, Shopify and Walmart sellers. Underwriting is pulled from marketplace performance data rather than traditional bank statements, which makes it a strong fit for online-native sellers without years of filed accounts.

The product mechanic is straightforward in shape but the underwriting is sector-specific. Tickets sit in the £5k to £1m band, decisions land within Same day to 48 hours, and the published rate range is Quoted at offer. Soft search at quote means no impact on your credit file at the eligibility stage. Like most UK lenders to limited companies, the standard SMB lending sits outside the FCA perimeter.

Where SellersFunding fits best: amazon, shopify and walmart sellers, cross-border e-commerce working capital, inventory pre-funding. Where it does not fit: pure b2b service smes, bricks-and-mortar retail without online ledger, long-tenor term debt.

When to use SellersFunding

Use SellersFunding when

Your application matches the best-fit profile: amazon, shopify and walmart sellers, cross-border e-commerce working capital, inventory pre-funding. The published ticket range (£5k to £1m) covers your ask, the decision speed (Same day to 48 hours) fits your cash-gap timeline, and the rate range (Quoted at offer) is acceptable to you given your credit profile. Soft search at quote means there is no downside to running an eligibility check before committing.

Do not use SellersFunding when

Your profile sits in the weak-at list: pure b2b service smes, bricks-and-mortar retail without online ledger, long-tenor term debt. SellersFunding will likely decline, and the decline itself can sit on broker records for 90 days. If you have any of these flags, route directly to a specialist (post-decline lender, MCA against card flow, asset-backed alternative) rather than using SellersFunding as a screen.

FAQs

What is the minimum trading time for SellersFunding?

SellersFunding typically asks for 12 to 24 months of trading. Newer businesses can sometimes qualify against alternative underwriting (card flow for MCA, asset security for asset finance), but the cleanest pricing tends to require two full sets of accounts.

Does SellersFunding require a personal guarantee?

Most UK SMB lenders require a personal guarantee from at least one director. SellersFunding is no exception in the standard case. The few exceptions: asset-backed lending where the asset itself stands as security, and a small number of MCA structures where card flow is the underwriting basis. For e-commerce working capital and term loan specifically, expect a PG to be requested.

How fast does SellersFunding fund?

SellersFunding quotes Same day to 48 hours for an underwriting decision. Funding to bank account typically follows within one to three working days of acceptance, subject to KYC, signed documents, and (where applicable) registration of any debenture or charge.

What rate should I expect from SellersFunding?

SellersFunding's published range is Quoted at offer. The headline number is rarely the offered number. Rate transparency on this lender scores 3/5 in our methodology. Expect the cleaner end of the band only if you have 2+ years of trading, clean credit, and turnover comfortably above the lender's stated floor.

What happens if SellersFunding declines me?

If SellersFunding declines, you have three realistic next steps. First, ask for the decline reason in writing, most reputable UK lenders will tell you. Second, route the application to a specialist post-decline lender (Bizcap, JPM Capital, Bolton Finance) where credit issues are the constraint, or to an asset-backed alternative where security is available. Third, use a broker panel to fan the application across the lenders most likely to accept your specific decline reason. SellersFunding scores 4/5 on decline handling in our methodology.
