Is it difficult to get money from business loan lenders?

It can be difficult to get small business loan money from lenders if you are dealing with the bank or other private companies. It may be easier to get funding from a government loan, because the government loan programmes are designed to help people get the money they need to make their goals into reality, rather than to make money off of people. If you need a small business loan from the government, check your budget for how much money you need and what you want to spend it on, and make note of the eligibility terms, interest rates, repayment schedules, and terms for the loans you are considering. If you are interested in applying for a loan, fill out the form on our web site or give us a call on UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
