Who are the lenders in the United Kingdom for business?

The bank lends money to business owners but they are not the only lenders, since the United Kingdom government also has grant and loan programmes available for business owners and entrepreneurs to use. The choices are different each year, so it is best to start searching for funding when you are ready to begin applying for the programmes. Choose one whose eligibility requirements and intended uses will work for you. In the case of business loans, also look at the interest rates, terms and repayment schedules. For help along the way, fill out the form on our website or give us a call at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
