A new year is the perfect time to turn ambition into action. If you have a business idea you believe in, or a young venture ready to take its next step, the right funding could make all the difference.
If you have already invested your time, savings, and energy and feel finance is the final barrier, a Start Up Loan could be the catalyst that helps you move forward with confidence.
At BFS, we support entrepreneurs at the very start of their journey, helping them access the funding they need with clarity, speed, and expert guidance throughout the process.
What Is a Start Up Loan?
A Start Up Loan is a government-backed personal loan for business use, designed to help new and early-stage businesses get off the ground or accelerate growth.
Key features include:
- Borrow between £500 and £25,000
- Repayment terms from 1 to 5 years
- No early repayment fees
- Free business mentoring included
It is a flexible and accessible way to fund equipment, marketing, staffing, or other essential business costs.
Who Can Apply?
You may be eligible for a Start Up Loan if:
- You are 18 or over, a UK resident, and have the right to work
- Your business is under three years old or not yet trading
- Funds will be used solely for business purposes
- Your business operates in the UK and within an eligible sector
Most industries are supported, making this a popular option for a wide range of start-ups.

Real results: A start up success story
