OUR BRANDS
We understand the challenges of starting and growing a business because we’ve done it ourselves (and we’re still doing it).
Transmit Startups
Over the past 11 years we've worked with more than 15,000 entrepreneurs, helping them to access over £175 million in finance, as well as mentoring and support to thrive on their business journey.
Back in 2013, our three founders started Transmit Startups to deliver the Start Up Loans scheme for the government. We started as the smallest provider and within 5 years we’d grown to be the largest provider of Start Up Loans in the UK. We’re exceptionally proud of the team we built and the 96% customer feedback score we maintained.
Since 2023, Transmit Startups no longer delivers the Start Up Loans scheme directly, but you can still apply here - a Business Support Partner for the Start Up Loans scheme will support you through the application process.
The team have turned our attention to creating products and services designed for ambitious founders, using everything we’ve learned to help growing SMEs on their scale up journey.
