Do I need credit to start a small business in London?

Starting a small business in London does not necessitate having credit, but it may be more difficult to find the funds that you require without a credit record. If you have bad credit or have no credit, consider a government funding option such as a grant or loan available at the regional level for business needs. There are some offers specifically for those with no credit. Choose a programme that meets your needs based on the intended uses and eligibility requirements of the offers.
