Flexible fit out financing for businesses across the UK
Whether a restaurant, office, shop or any other type of commercial property that requires a fit out, it is likely to be a costly endeavour, especially for new businesses.
Luckily, there are a number of fit out financing options available for UK businesses.
We believe in valuable, honest, and straightforward business. By working with us, you’ll have your own broker on the end of the phone rather than going through endless call centres.
Our specialty is in putting together compelling business cases for your fit out finance loan requests. We take the time to understand your restaurant, pub, hotel, shop or office, as well as your financial objectives.
Lenders trust us our judgement and commitment to sensible, responsible lending. This reputation provides us with favourable access to competitive repayment terms and potentially wider affordability multipliers compared to the high street lenders.

Different types of fit out
Mill Wood Finance can provide bespoke commercial finance solutions for both types of fit out.
Category A fit outs prepare a building to a functional and presentable degree, but enable the tenant to customize the space as they see fit.
Cat A fit out's typically include:
- Electricals
- Lighting
- HVAC Systems
- Plumbing
- Flooring
- Suspended ceilings
- Wall finishings such as plastering and painting
Cat A fit outs are usually quicker and cheaper compared to Cat B fit outs.
Some landlords might request that the space is returned in Cat A condition at the end of the tenancy.
Category B fit outs prepare a space for the tenant's specific needs, such as for restaurant use or as an office.
Cat B fit outs are usually paid for by the tenant, with the landlord's approval.
Typically included in a Cat B fit out:
- Specific interior design to reflect the tenant's corporate identity and brand
- Infrastructure such as IT and power outlets
- Specialist audio-visual and lighting
- Furniture, such as workstations and desks
- Partitions
- Finishes for the floors, walls and ceilings
Types of Fit Out Finance Solutions
What does fit out financing provide?
Fit out financing provides access to the capital required to fit out a property, without the financial strain of having to pay for this all up front. This allows businesses to preserve their capital and cash flow, which can be critical, especially early on.
The upsides to fit out financing
- Reduce upfront costs – minimise initial expenses to spread the cost over affordable monthly repayments, helping to free-up funds for other prominent areas.
- Simple cost allocation – agreed payments and dates are set in stone beforehand to give you peace of mind regarding each necessary acquisition for your restaurant fit out.
- Advantageous tax benefits – asset finance can present advantageous tax benefits as opposed to purchasing items up front, although it is always important to seek independent tax advice
Mill Wood Finance can provide access to flexible finance options for office fit outs. Asset costs that could be financed include flooring, ceilings, lighting, walls and utilities, as well as the interior design, partition, branding, furniture, technology, kitchens and washrooms.
