Business loans: £5,000-£30,000

To apply for a loan you will need:

• An up-to-date business plan
• A cashflow forecast – use our template if you don't have one yet
• Your credit file – this costs £2 from Experian
• A completed application form (you can now apply online!)

Once we have your application and business plan we can meet to talk about your plans (at your offices or ours if you have no business premises) using our experience and skills to increase your businesses chance of success. We will tell you if you have your loan within three to four weeks of meeting you.

If you are a veteran you may be able to access a loan fund of up to £30,000 - 25% of which is a grant, please visit the our page on Be the Boss.
