How do I get a business loan to finance my new warehouse?

There may be many ways in which you can get a business loan to finance a new warehouse. You may be able to receive loans from a bank or other lending institution or you might qualify for a UK Government loan as well.

When applying for a loan, you will need to have decent credit and be willing to put up collateral. The government may offer unsecured loans where collateral is not necessary. Expect to pay interest on the loan, though you may receive a better interest with a government loan.

In some cases, the government is able to offer loans without interest as well. You may also want to check for government grants you might qualify for. Government grant funds change periodically but there may be some available to help with equipment purchases.

You can search for available funding opportunities like a grant or loan using the Startup Assessment Tool , a convenient tool on the UKStartups.org website. You can also call with questions at 020 3880 8554, toll free.
