Finance for your business

Business loans

When you join our free Enterprise programme, you’ll benefit from the skills, training and mentoring to make your business a success – along with the chance to apply for a low-interest personal loan for business purposes.

We work with the Start Up Loans Company to offer low-interest personal loans for business purposes between £500 to £25,000 at a rate of 6.2% APR.

Not only do we set a payment schedule that works for you, but if your situation changes our team are on hand to provide support. But please note that failure to meet loan repayments may affect your credit score.

Small start-up business grants are also available in special circumstances.

Budgeting

Understanding how much money your business will need to make each month is a core element on Enterprise. If you want to get a handle on what money’s coming in and what’s going out now, download our budget planner.

Tax

Registering as self-employed with HM Revenue and Customs is just one of the topics we cover on Enterprise. Get started by using this online tool.

Insurance

Insurance is important when you start your business and, in some cases, required by law. The insurance company you use should be registered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Their website will help you find one that suits you.
