Start Up Loans: now open to more applicants
HOME / / Start Up Loans: now open to more applicants
Good news! Changes to the eligibility criteria for the Start Up Loan scheme means more people can now apply for support.
The British Business Bank has extended the scheme to reach even more entrepreneurs with its popular package of finance, support and mentoring.
What are the changes?
First loans - applicants with a new or early-stage business trading for no more than 36 months can now apply (increased from 24 months)
Second loans - existing Start Up Loans borrowers with a business trading for no more than 60 months can apply (increased from 24 months)
The changes came into force on 10th March 2022. You can find out about other eligibility criteria here.
Start Up Loans are a Government-backed scheme, helping more people to start businesses. It's a low-interest loan, a great alternative to a traditional bank loan if you’re looking to fund a business idea. Customise your loan to borrow the exact amount you need, when you need it.
Loans come with the backing of a free mentor to help guide you through the early days and maximise the impact of your loan.
And now, second loans are available to provide extra support to more existing customers. Find out more details here.
