Apply for Vagaro Capital in the UK – Vagaro Support

If you are a small business that hasn't renovated in years, Vagaro Capital can help provide funding to remodel your space to look brand new.

Vagaro Capital isn't limited to just small businesses, though. Vagaro Capital is a flexible funding solution that can provide your business between £1,000 - £500,000 based on your credit card processing volume. The application process is quick, and most customers get their funding within two business days*.

If you've been processing credit cards with Vagaro for at least four months, you could qualify for a cash advance tailored to your business. Once eligible, you can select a payment rate that suits your needs. You're not obligated to take the full eligible amount; only take what you need. You won't deal with interest, just a transparent, predetermined fee. When you get funding from Vagaro Capital, there’s no mounting debt, even if it takes you longer to pay. Once you get your funds, a percentage of your daily card sales goes towards payments. So, when business is slow, you make smaller payments.

_{*In June 2023, the percentage of approved customers funded in 48 business hours was 75%.}

Payments

After you receive your cash advance, Vagaro Capital automatically withdraws daily payments (split payments) from your daily credit/debit card transactions, similar to Vagaro's credit card processing fees. Vagaro Capital calculates the payment based on a percentage of your gross daily credit card sales over the workday, which means that payments may fluctuate depending on your daily earnings.

Note

Note that Vagaro Capital's payment schedule mirrors our current Batch Schedule.

The system calculates Vagaro Capital payments based on your daily income before deducting Vagaro's credit card fees.

Renewals

After paying 50 to 100% of your Vagaro Capital funding, you may be eligible for renewed funding. When eligible, you will receive the following notification in your Notification Panel Bell Icon .
