“Four government-backed funding opportunities''
Growth Guarantee Scheme
The Growth Guarantee Scheme is a government-backed scheme designed to support access to finance for UK businesses as they look to invest and grow.
Start-Up Loan
Apply for a government-backed Start Up Loan of £500 to £25,000 to start or grow your business.
Unlike a business loan, this is an unsecured personal loan. You’ll need to pass a credit check.
You’ll get free support and guidance to help write your business plan, and successful applicants get up to 12 months of free mentoring.
