There are 3 main types of finance that you can use when looking at a petrol station loan:

• Business loan: this finance is useful for when you are looking to finance a new petrol station property itself. This is essentially a business/commercial loan secured over the property and/or lease hold.
• Equipment finance: this is of particular use when you need finance to purchase equipment for the petrol station. An equipment finance uses the item you are purchasing as security and interest rates will be heavily impacted by the type of equipment you are buying. The can include chattel mortgages, finance lease commercial hire purchase.
• Cash-flow finance: this type of finance sees an injection of cash directly into the business, opening up the ability for the owner to use it to take the business further. Cash-flow loans are usually only for 1 to 2 years, so they are not meant to be long-term solutions for any cash-flow issues.
