How fast may I be able to get a business loan in South East?

South East small business owners may be able to get loans from the government, but it is not necessarily a fast process. First you need to leave enough time to look at your budget and business plan to see what you need money for. Then select a loan that is appropriate based on factors such as its eligibility requirements, intended uses and terms. Then you can apply for one or several of the business loans available and wait to hear back if you are accepted. People may find help with loans by talking to UKStartups staff. To determine if this includes you, ring 020 3880 8554, freephone, or fill out our online contact form.
