Frequently asked questions
What is the Government Start Up Loan?
The Government Start Up Loan offers personal loans for business purposes at a fixed 6% APR, with amounts from £500 to £25,000 per director and free mentoring included. It is available to businesses trading for less than 36 months.
How much trading history do I need?
Some specialist lenders fund businesses from day one. The Government Start Up Loan is available for businesses under 36 months old. Most other lenders prefer at least 6-12 months of trading history and bank statements.
What if I have no business credit history?
For startups, lenders place greater weight on personal credit history, personal guarantees from directors, and the quality of the business plan. A well-prepared plan with realistic financial projections significantly improves your chances.
