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.

A Remarkable Experience
It has been a fantastic experience. Emily Lynch is a credit to your company and deserves the highest accolades. I actually come from a business background, so my standards and expectations are sometimes unreasonably high. She didn’t just meet them, she vaulted over them effortlessly. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. It goes without saying that launching a business, particularly after an extended trying time, is nerve-wracking and fills you with many questions and doubts. Applying for a loan simply amplifies all your misgivings. And although I have experience in the business world, all that experience was amassed in Canada, where I was raised and spent the majority of my adult life. As I have repeatedly found since returning to England (the country of my birth), navigating not only the business world, but the government and British institutions in general is like stepping into a new universe. You find yourself tripping and making mis-steps that catch you completely by surprise and scratching your head. (And I’m sure the same holds true for British people crossing the Atlantic to Canada.) So I made the application with a great deal of misgiving, trepidation, and feeling somewhat unnerved and intimidated. I kept waiting to make that fatal mis-step that would pull the rug out from under me. Emily made that mis-step impossible. She guided me through the whole process with clarity and patience; making sure she explained every part of the process so it was clear and understandable. And she was willing to take the time to answer any questions I had. She earned my trust remarkably fast. She also spoke with me professionally, respectfully, and with great natural courtesy. Not once did I feel she was talking down to me or I was being condescended to. (Something I’m overly sensitive to because it’s a flaw of mine when I’m explaining things to people.) So what started out as an intimidating and slightly frightening process ended up being remarkably pleasant and enjoyable. That is hands down to the credit of Emily, and I hope this review gets her the recognition she deserves within the company. Thank you. (And yes, this was written by myself without any AI assistance. I’m a writer by nature and profession. And I write so well everybody thinks I’m a computer now. 😄. But I assure you this was truly written from the heart, not the bot. 🙂)
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.
