Who bizbritain is
A specialist broker, not a high-street bank.
bizbritain has been helping British founders fund their businesses since 2012. We're an FCA-authorised commercial finance brokerage and an official delivery partner of the British Business Bank's Start Up Loans scheme.
That covers businesses at every stage. The starter loan a high-street bank turns down (the £15,000 a barber needs for a chair, the £25,000 a mobile groomer needs for a van), we fund through the Government-backed scheme. The growth facility to hire staff or open a second site, we match to the right lender. And the £750k deal to buy a business outright, we have the relationships and the team to put it together.
Plain English, real humans, a named advisor on every case, and an Excellent 5* rating on Trustpilot.

Helpful and supportive all the way
Having submitted a loan application through BizBritain, Karen Sawyer was assigned to us to assist and process the application. Karen was very thorough and kept us up to date with progress of the application as it went through the various stages of approval. The portal to upload documentation is easy to use and Karen would send messages through this to communicate with us. Overall a very easy process and great support from Karen. Thank you very much!

Application nightmare, managed exceptionally
Our experience applying for a startup loan was long, complicated and at times frustrating but for the assistance of Emily Lynch. Emily was helpful when we didn't understand an issue, sought solutions for us when we came up against complications and stayed in touch constantly to make sure our application didn't time out. I cannot thank Emily enough for her assistance throughout the process.
I worked with Brenda Wilson from…
I worked with Brenda Wilson from BizBritain for my first Start Up Loan, and it was a great experience. Brenda was incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the process. She made everything easy to understand and provided excellent guidance from start to finish. I would highly recommend her services.
Excellent support throughout my Start-Up Loan application
I worked with BizBritain for my Start-Up Loan application and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. My Loan Proposer, Victoria Fox, was professional, thorough and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. When the initial loan amount needed to be reviewed, Victoria helped me put forward a clear and well-reasoned case which resulted in a positive outcome. That kind of personal advocacy made a real difference. The process was well structured and clearly communicated at every stage, I always knew what was needed and what to expect next. If you are considering a Start-Up Loan I would not hesitate to recommend BizBritain. A team that truly wants to see you succeed."
