Beware of scams

We are aware of scams coming from email and social media where people try to impersonate us. We will never ask you for money or your bank details. Learn more about what to look out for and how to protect yourself.

Supporting you beyond the loan

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 we offer all of our Start Up Loan recipients 12 months of free business mentoring.

Business mentor

At Start Up Loans we know that it takes more than just a loan to grow your business.

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.

A mentor can 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.

What’s more, mentoring can help boost your motivation and confidence – essential qualities for any successful business owner.

To accommodate your busy schedule, mentoring sessions can happen outside of regular business hours.

That’s not all, though.

As a Start Up Loan recipient you’ll have access to our online support services, where you can access a wealth of business knowledge at any time of the day or night.

You’ll also be able to attend our live webinars (or watch them on demand) presented by industry experts covering current business trends.
