WHAT IS A START UP LOAN?

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.

Transmit Startups is working with the Start Up Loans Company and their network of Business Support Partners.

We're here to help you get your application started, making it quick and easy to begin the process.

You'll need to pass some eligibility checks and create a business plan and realistic cashflow forecast.

Your Business Support Partner will match you with a business advisor, and help you to use the templates so that you can get the money in your account as soon as possible.

  • Borrow £500 - £25,000, customised to your needs

  • ...and take a second loan, if your business needs it

  • Funding specifically available for businesses that are not trading, or those that have been trading for less than three years

  • Applications open to all those age 18+ based in the UK - whether you are working full-time, part-time or are currently unemployed

There are no fees charged for obtaining a Start Up Loan or any of the services associated with it. All of the advice, professional mentoring and templates you'll receive will be free to use.
