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 Business Support Partner for 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. We're also fast: enquiries answered the same working day, and applications prepared properly the first time so lenders can say yes sooner.

Hannah Fowler was fantastic throughout…
Hannah Fowler was fantastic throughout my Start Up Loan application. She was supportive, patient and always clear about exactly what was needed at each stage, which made a fairly complex process much easier to get through. She kept me updated regularly and genuinely seemed invested in getting my application right rather than just processed. I would highly recommend BizBritain and Hannah in particular to anyone starting their Start Up Loan journey.
Well supported throughout the application
A very easy process from start to finish, absolutely would recommend bizbritain. Special thanks to Nicole Lilley for the support and assistance given throughout my application.
I had a very positive experience…
I had a very positive experience throughout the Start Up Loan application process. Karl was extremely helpful, professional and supportive from the beginning to the final approval. He took the time to understand my business plans and provided clear guidance whenever I had questions or needed to provide additional information. I particularly appreciated his flexibility and the practical solution he suggested regarding the loan being provided in two tranches, as this suited my circumstances and business plans very well. The whole process was handled professionally, and I always felt that I was being properly supported and kept informed about the progress of my application. Karl was approachable, responsive and made what could have been a stressful process much easier. I’m very pleased that my application was successfully approved, and I’m grateful to Karl for his help and support in getting me to this stage. I would definitely recommend the service to anyone looking to start a new business and apply for a Start Up Loan.
Highly recommend
After an initial not great experience with a different provider, I was recommended Victoria Fox at Biz Britain, who was absolutely amazing and turned my experience into a highly positive one. The application process is easy and I Victoria helped me every step of the way. The outcome was successful and this has given me the much needed boost for my business.
My experience with Adam was great
My experience with Adam was great, really helpful and got back to every question I had. Thank you for the support
