We are an official Business Support Partner for British Business Bank’s Start Up Loan Scheme as part of a network of business support partners

We deliver Start Up Loans across the East Midlands, South East Midlands and West Midlands. We understand it can be difficult for new businesses to access the finance they need due to their limited trading history so we’re proud to help plug the funding gap.

The British Business Bank’s Start Up Loan Scheme is a UK-wide, government-backed scheme that offers a repayable loan to individuals looking to start or grow a new business. In addition to providing finance, all Start Up Loan recipients are given access to a mentor, free training events and exclusive business offers.
