Business Loans

If you’re starting a new business or have been trading for less than three years, then you’ve met the first criteria for securing a Start Up Loan. 

Check out the other criteria below to make sure you’re eligible before applying.

• You’re 18 years of age or older
• You’re a current UK resident
• You’re starting a new business or have been trading for up to 36 months
• You’re unable to secure finance from other sources (self-declaration is ok)
• Your business is based in the UK
• You have the right to work in the UK
• Your business type and loan purpose is eligible under terms of the scheme
• You pass a credit check and you can afford to repay the loan 

We are working with Start Up Loans Companies and their network of Business Support Partners to help you get your loan. We will help you get your application started, making it quick and easy to begin the process.

You'll need to pass some eligibility checks and create a business plan and realistic cashflow forecast. 

Your Business Support Partner will match you with a business advisor, and help you to use the templates so that you can get the money in your account as soon as possible. You can borrow £500 - £25,000, customised to your needs.

There are no fees charged for obtaining a Start Up Loan or any of the services associated with it. All of the advice, professional mentoring and templates you'll receive will be free to use.
