Used responsibly, a HELOC can provide valuable benefits. However, as it is a second charge mortgage (also known as a secured loan), consider how it might affect your ability to secure additional borrowing in the future. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a secured loan that lets you unlock the value in your home to fund major expenses without changing your existing mortgage. For business owners, it offers a simple, flexible alternative to traditional business loans.
You receive a credit limit and can draw funds as needed to cover stock, cash flow, equipment or growth opportunities. Draw, repay, and reuse the available balance for up to five years. You only pay interest on what you use, and monthly repayments are required on the drawn balance.
There are no ongoing fees, no business plans to submit, and no need to remortgage. Just fast, affordable funding and ready when your business needs it.
Access between £10,000 and £500,000 to back your business at every stage.
Business loan rates often start higher. Selina’s HELOC starts from 7.74%, helping you reduce costs while staying in control.

A Home Equity Line of Credit, or HELOC, is a flexible credit facility secured against your home. It allows you to borrow up to an agreed limit and gives you the freedom to draw down funds as and when you need them. Selina Finance offers the UK’s first true HELOC, combining the flexibility of a credit card with the low cost of secured borrowing. The HELOC sits alongside your existing mortgage, so your current rate and repayments remain unaffected.
You can borrow between £10,000 and £500,000, depending on the equity available in your property. The total term can range from five to thirty years and includes a flexibility period of two to five years at the start of the loan.
Both of Selina’s products are secured against your home, but they work in different ways:
Home Equity Loan: You receive a one-off lump sum with fixed monthly repayments. You can choose between fixed or variable interest rates, making this option a good fit for big, planned expenses like home improvements or debt consolidation.
HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit): This works more like a flexible credit facility. You can borrow funds as and when you need them, up to your approved limit. You only pay interest on the amount you actually draw, helping you keep borrowing costs down. This makes it ideal for ongoing or unexpected expenses, such as school fees or phased home projects.
The flexibility period (sometimes called the drawdown period) is the first 2, 3, 4, or 5 years of your HELOC. During this time, you can borrow, repay, and borrow again — all within your approved credit limit.
This gives you freedom to access funds when you need them, while keeping repayments structured and manageable.
Once the flexibility period ends, the loan moves into the repayment period — this is when you pay back what you’ve borrowed in regular monthly instalments.
For example:
A 5-year flexibility period + 10-year repayment period = 15-year total term.
Monthly payments are due throughout the full term if you have a balance. However, when we assess affordability, we focus on the repayment period (the last 10 years in this example) to make sure the HELOC can be comfortably repaid in full.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
