Mentoring and support

Take out a Start Up Loan, and you’ll instantly qualify for up to 12 months of free business support including your very own business mentor.

Mentoring and Post Loan Support

At Start Up Loans we know that it takes more than just a loan to grow your business. For us, supporting start up businesses is about more than just offering affordable finance.

We believe that support and guidance is just as important and that’s why when you take out a Start Up Loan, you’ll instantly qualify for up to 12 months of free business support including your very own business mentor.

How mentoring can support you:

  • provide an unbiased assessment of your current strategies, allowing you to make more informed decisions and gain access to knowledge and resources that might not otherwise be available
  • mentoring sessions can happen outside of regular business hours to accommodate your busy schedule
  • 24/7 access to online support services, including a wealth of business knowledge
  • access to live webinars (or on demand) presented by industry experts covering current business trends.

Start Up Loans works with Newable, they are an official Start Up Loans Business Support Partner and work closely with successful Start Up Loan applicants to deliver mentoring and post loan support services as well as offer access to quality content through a programme of value adding webinars.

Newable work in partnership with UMi to deliver Post Loan support services. UMi Sat Nav is a digital platform that gives flexibility and convenience to access 100s of on-demand tools and resources. Helping with everything from business planning and marketing to sales, recruitment and funding.
