Key information
Profile
A Start Up Loan is a government-backed personal loan available to individuals looking to start or grow a business in the UK. The interest rate is fixed at six per cent. In addition to finance, successful applicants are offered 12 months of free mentoring and exclusive business offers to help them succeed. The loan is unsecured, so there’s no need to put forward any assets or guarantors to support an application. All owners or partners in a business can individually apply for up to £25,000 each, with a maximum of £100,000 available per business. The business can be up to three years old.
Since the start of the programme in 2012, over 100,000 Start Up Loans have been awarded 40% of which have gone to women entrepreneurs. The average loan value is just under £10,000.
