Reviews from Businesses like Yours
The UK beauty and personal care sector employs over 600,000 people and contributes more than £6 billion to the economy annually, according to the National Hair and Beauty Federation. For independent salons, clinics, and beauty businesses, cash flow challenges are frequent — product stock must be purchased upfront, treatment room fit-outs require capital investment, and seasonal demand creates uneven revenue patterns. A business funding advance gives beauty and cosmetics businesses access to working capital quickly, without a personal guarantee.
Beauty & Cosmetics Business Funding Advance
Got Capital provides unsecured business funding advances from £2,000 to £300,000 for beauty salons, cosmetics businesses, aesthetics clinics, nail bars, and personal care businesses across the UK. A funding decision is made in as little as one hour, and the advance can be in your account within 24 hours, without requiring a personal guarantee.
Why Beauty & Cosmetics Businesses Need Equipment Funding
The beauty industry operates on tight margins with significant upfront costs. Stock — skincare products, professional treatments, nail supplies, hair colour, and cosmetic consumables — must be purchased before a single client walks through the door. Premium brands often require minimum order quantities that tie up cash. New product launches and seasonal ranges demand investment months ahead of the selling period.
For salons and clinics with treatment rooms, physical space is the business. Refurbishment, new equipment, and upgraded furnishings all require capital expenditure that pays back gradually over months or years. A single treatment room lying idle because of outdated equipment or a tired interior costs revenue every day it underperforms.
The growth of non-surgical aesthetics — including skin treatments, lip fillers, and anti-wrinkle injections — has created new opportunities for beauty businesses but also new costs. Professional-grade equipment for these treatments carries a significant price tag. For businesses that want to expand their treatment menu and attract higher-value clients, the capital requirement arrives well before the additional revenue does.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Yes — Got Capital provides business funding advances suited to beauty salons, aesthetics clinics, nail bars, hair salons, and cosmetics businesses. To qualify, your business needs to be UK-registered, have been trading for at least 3 months, and generate a minimum of £5,000 in monthly revenue. Decisions are based on your business health rather than your personal credit score, and no personal guarantee is required. Advances range from £2,000 to £300,000, with funds reaching your account within 24 hours of approval.
Got Capital can issue a funding decision in as little as one hour. Once approved, funds are typically deposited into your business account within 24 hours. There is no requirement to submit a business plan or personal guarantee. This speed is valuable when a product supplier is offering a short-window bulk deal, when new equipment becomes available, or when your salon needs a quick refurbishment to maintain client retention.
Yes — there are no restrictions on how the funds are deployed within your beauty business. Purchasing product stock is one of the most common uses: professional skincare ranges, haircare products, nail supplies, and treatment consumables all require upfront investment before generating revenue. An advance also works well for salon refurbishment — a refreshed interior and upgraded treatment rooms can directly increase client retention and average spend. For businesses considering a second location, an advance can cover deposits, fit-out costs, and the working capital needed to trade through the opening months.
A traditional bank loan is a credit agreement where interest accrues over the loan term and fixed monthly instalments are due on a set schedule. Got Capital’s advance works differently: a single, fixed factor fee is agreed upfront, so you know the full cost before you commit. There is no compounding interest and no variable rate. You settle the advance as a proportion of your future revenue. No personal guarantee is required to secure the funding advance.
No. Got Capital does not require a personal guarantee from any business that takes an advance. A personal guarantee would make you personally liable if the business could not settle, potentially putting your home and savings at risk. Got Capital’s advances are unsecured: your personal financial position is not used as security, and no personal assets are put at risk in order to secure the funding advance.
Yes — a Got Capital advance is specifically designed to work with businesses that have uneven revenue. Settlement is structured as a proportion of your future income. This makes a Got Capital advance well suited to beauty and cosmetics businesses that experience seasonal variation.
Yes. Many of the beauty businesses funded by Got Capital have previously been declined by a high street bank. Banks assess applications primarily on credit scores, security, and rigid eligibility criteria that often disadvantage small personal care businesses. Got Capital assesses the health of your business — your revenue, trading history, and operations. If your salon or clinic generates at least £5,000 per month, has traded for at least 3 months, and is UK-registered, your application will be reviewed on its own merits. Previous bank declines are not a barrier.
