What would you do with a Start Up Loan?

Whatever your answer, we are here to help you achieve your business dreams.

Starting or growing a business requires capital. A Start Up Loan is a government-backed personal loan available to individuals looking to start or grow a business in the UK.

It can provide the financial foundation needed for success. Whether it's equipment purchases, marketing initiatives, or hiring talent, a Start Up Loan can be the catalyst for growth.

We deliver Start Up Loans to individuals in Yorkshire, the Humber, and the North East. All owners or partners in a business can individually apply for up to £25,000 each, with a maximum of £100,000 available per business.
