Are there available samples of previously successful small business loan proposals I can look at for help?

There may be available samples of previously successful small business loan proposal attempts to be found online, or by contacting the loan programme you wish to apply for. There you can read the proposals that past funding recipients have written, and learn from then. Alternatively, view lists of tips and suggestions for writing your proposal, and learn things to include or not include in your own. Proposals are an important part of the grant application process, as they are your chance to show why you are the best applicant, and why you deserve the money. There are also eligibility conditions for each grant in addition to the proposal. So, make note of these for the grants you are interested in also. Learn more about writing proposals by filling out the form on our website. You may also try calling us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
