Business Loans

Hi,

I have a business loan with Lloyds TSB and I have just found out they have charged me £2850 for repayment insurance. They informed me that unless I take out the insurance they would not agree the loan but at no point mentioned the price.

Now I have found out how much it was, I plan to cancel it, obtain the refund and go elsewhere for the coverage. However, I cannot locate a company anywhere that offers repayment insurance for business loans - only personal.

Can anyone help?

    Business insurance isn't the same as consumer payment protection insurance and I don't think there is a market for a standalone product.

    If you haven't provided LloydsTSB with security for their loan then they are correct saying that they can make insurance compulsory or charge a higher APR. It may be that you cannot cancel this insurance and still keep your loan.
