bizbritain provides UK entrepreneurs with access to funding to start, grow, or buy a business.

BizBritain was originally founded in March 2012 by multi award winning entrepreneur Matt Gubba as a resource to help people start their own business, after he saw a growing need in the marketplace for support and guidance amongst the rapidly increasing number of new business owners. In 2013 Matt teamed up with seasoned business development expert Gary Lennon and BizBritain became a national delivery partner of the the Start Up Loans scheme, a £500 Million government fund which was set in motion by Lord Young. At the time of writing this, BizBritain has funded more than 2,500 Startups with a combined total of over £30 Million. BizBritain is now a fully FCA authorised financial services firm, brokering a wide range of financial products for start-ups and SMEs though our network of lenders and associate brokers.

Thinking of buying a business? Plan for it to take a few months.

Most small business purchases take two to six months from agreed terms to completion. Landlords, licences and lenders all need time to say yes.

One step is easy to miss. If you buy a company's shares, you will usually become a director. Companies House now needs you to verify your identity before you can be appointed.

So start early. Talk about finance, verify your ID and get your landlord pack ready before you make an offer.

Do you rent your workshop, unit or office? You may be wondering whether to buy it.

According to the latest RICS survey, rents on good-quality units are still expected to rise. Expectations for property values have softened. But lenders have also become stricter.

Buying can make sense if you plan to stay for years. You would usually need a commercial mortgage, with a deposit and monthly repayments.

Before you start viewing, get your accounts, your deposit and your numbers ready.

Our new guide explains when buying beats renting, and what lenders check.

Looking at a franchise with no franchise fee? Ask what you will pay every month instead.

Most franchises charge ongoing fees, often a share of your sales. A lender will check that you can repay after every fee is paid.

Our new guide explains each fee and how to compare two franchises fairly.

Buying a business and short of the full price? The seller can be part of the answer.

With vendor finance, the seller is paid part of the price after completion. Lenders often count it close to your own money, as long as it ranks behind them.

Our new guide explains how it works and how to ask.

Buying a business and the bank said no? It does not have to end the deal.

Ask the bank why, and what would change its mind. Then look at the options: more help from the seller, borrowing against the business's own assets, a bigger deposit or a different lender.

Our new guide explains what a decline usually means and how to keep the seller on side.
