Start Up Loan

FUNDING PLATFORM

If you are at any early stage, you could consider applying for a small loan via a regional scheme.  Alternatively, you could apply for a loan between £500 and £25,000 via the government funded Start Up Loans Scheme from the British Business Bank.   It's a personal loan so mre than one partner in a business can apply up to a maximum of £100,000 for your business.  After a number of successful full repayments you may be eligible to apply for an additional 'Second Loan' for the same business.

We're delighted to be working with Swoop: a business funding and savings platform enabling businesses to discover the right funding solutions across loans, equity and grants, as well as identify ways to easily make savings - all in one fell swoop.

 

They work with over 1,000 funding providers from mainstream banks, alternative lenders, venture capital funds, SEIS/EIS funds, angel investors and grant agencies, meaning that whatever your funding requirement, they are able to offer a solution.  With their open banking technology, you can also see potential savings and switch expenditure on Foreign Exchange, Utilities, Broadband, Mobile Phones and Insurance.
