FAQs for property landlords
- Will Capital On Tap accept a property SPV?
- Yes, provided the SPV is a UK Limited Company active on Companies House with £24,000+ annual turnover (rental income counts). Capital On Tap does not publish a minimum trading-period rule. Pure dormant SPVs without active rental income may struggle.
- Can I pay deposits with the card?
- Capital On Tap restricts speculative property deposits via the card per their T&Cs. Check current restrictions before relying on it for property purchases — typically you'd use a bridging facility instead.
- Does it report to commercial credit bureaus?
- Yes. Capital On Tap reports payment behaviour to commercial credit agencies (Experian Business, Equifax Commercial), helping build the SPV's own credit profile.
