The Government Start Up Loan is a personal loan for business purposes, available to new and early-stage businesses at a fixed 6% APR. You can borrow from £500 to £25,000 per director (up to £100,000 per business). The scheme includes free mentoring and support.
Some specialist lenders will fund businesses from their first day of trading. The Government Start Up Loan scheme is available to businesses trading for less than 36 months. Most other business loan lenders require at least 6-12 months of trading history.
For startups, lenders typically rely more heavily on personal credit history, personal guarantees from directors, and the strength of the business plan. A well-prepared business plan with realistic financial projections significantly improves your chances of approval.
