21.1% representative APR is based on borrowing £13,500 over 35 months, at a simple annual interest rate of 19.3% (fixed). The total amount you'll repay is £17,754.35.

How can our sole trader loans help you?
A Monzo Business loan allows eligible sole traders to source finance.
With our sole trader business loan, you can choose how much you would like to borrow (£200 - £25,000) for your business and for how long. The loan terms vary depending on the amount you borrow. See at a glance what you’ve paid, how much is left to pay, and how much it costs.
Choose a repayment date that suits you, and change it if you need to (there's no fee!). If you need to change it more than once you can with no fee, you'll just need to get in touch.
Expect more from your loan
If your business is growing, you shouldn’t have to jump through hoops if you want to repay early or pay off a little extra. Repayments are no problem with a Monzo loan, you can do this straight from the app with no fee.
It makes sense that if you pay extra you’ll reduce your monthly repayments and the total cost of your loan so that’s exactly what happens.
Customise how you see & manage your loan
Running a business is hard work. Whether your loan is for managing cash flow, paying suppliers or trying to grow your business, give it a name and add an image of your choice.
Your loan sits alongside your Pots, so it’s easy to see the progress you’re making at a glance.

If you need some extra support, we’ll do everything we can to help you get back on track.
The best way to get in touch with us is via in-app chat to discuss your circumstances with a financial difficulties specialist and find out how we can support you.
What is an APR?
APR stands for annual percentage rate. It tells you the rate of interest you'll pay on an annual basis including any compound interest and expected fees (like upfront fees). It won't include missed payment fees or early repayment fees – but we don’t charge these.
Representative APR. You may see two types of interest, representative and personal. The representative rate is what we'd reasonably expect to offer at least 51% of people. By law, we have to show you this. But we'll always tell you the exact rate you'll pay, and what that means in pounds and pence, before you borrow from us. The rate you’re actually offered is your personal APR – this is usually based on things like your credit score.
Do you offer loans for Limited companies?
If you are a director of a Limited company, you can check if you're eligible to apply for a Monzo business loan in the app. The availability of these loans is subject to status, terms and conditions.
Where we can’t help you with a loan, we've teamed up with FundingXchange and iwoca to find the right funding for your business goals.
While we earn a commission from these partnerships, this doesn't affect your application process with the lenders.
Our Representative APR for loans between £1,000 and £25,000 is 18.4% APR. The loan repayment terms vary depending on the amount you borrow. 18.4% Representative APR is based on borrowing £6,800 over 12 months, at a simple annual interest rate of 17% (fixed). The total amount you'll repay is £7,439.32.
Limited Companies only. Must have a Business Account for at least 30 days and provide a personal guarantee. Ts&Cs apply.
