First Payments are able to provide the above components as an integrated system, to meet the needs of your business sector, such as fast food, services or hospitality and many others.

Today’s competitive business environment demands not only top-notch customer service but also strategic planning which requires the analysis of data in minute detail. Any business which relies on face-to-face transactions for all or part of its revenue must strive towards making those transactions as efficient as possible and collect as much information about the transaction/customer as possible in order to inform business decision making.

An EPOS system not only makes the process of transacting business as convenient as possible for the staff and the customer but also has the added advantage of collecting and reporting detailed information on sales, customers, purchase and profit activity.

With our business finance alternative, we can provide you with anything between £2500 and £300000. This amount will depend on your average monthly card takings, but typically we will advance up to 100% of this amount – so if on average you take £10000 per month via card payments, this is how much you will qualify to be advanced – however, we can be flexible on this figure.

We will use a number of sources of information to help us understand your business, including 3rd party credit bureau checks. We carry out both company and consumer credit bureau searches, which will leave a record of this search on both credit files, visible to other finance providers – however, neither credit score will be impacted.

That’s not a problem. Traditionally if you have a poor credit history, this could severely limit your chances of acquiring a business loan. However, unlike a bad credit business loan, we consider applications on an individual basis and assess whether the product is right for your business based on business potential – not just your credit history. That said, we are wholly committed to ensuring we are acting responsibly so, just as we do, you should think carefully about financial products for your business and seek appropriate advice when making decisions.
