Funding

Who are British Business Bank?

British Business Bank runs Start Up Loans – a U.K. Government partner and initiative whose mission is to make owning a business a viable career for people who struggle to raise finance. A Start Up Loan is a government-backed personal loan available to individuals looking to start or grow a business in the UK. In addition to finance, successful applicants receive 12 months of free mentoring and exclusive business offers to help them succeed.

The loan is unsecured, so there’s no need to put forward any assets or guarantors to support an application. All owners or partners in a business can individually apply for up to £25,000 each, with a maximum of £100,000 available per business.

We’ve helped a number of our franchisees secure funding and will be with you every step of the way.
