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.

Outstanding Support from Suhail Throughout my Application
I had a really great experience with the company. My adviser was Suhail. Throughout the whole process he was extremely clear and incredibly helpful with everything regarding the application. As the application requires quite a bit of documentation, and ensuring everything is correct, it makes you all the more grateful for an adviser who communicates so frequently and efficiently whenever you need any assistance. I can’t thank him enough. His support has been greatly appreciated.
Starting up a new business is quite…
Starting up a new business is quite daunting with so many new things to learn and do. One of the scariest things was applying for a business loan....but I needn't have worried. Helen Hume from BizBritain guided me through the process from start to finish. She kept me updated at every step and really took the stress out of the whole thing. Great service, highly recommended!
Fantastic!!
I honestly couldn't recommend the British Business Bank highly enough and Karen who dealt with the process! Karen has been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process of helping my sister and me with the start-up loan application for our new business. From the very beginning, she has been approachable, professional, patient and incredibly supportive. Starting a new business can be quite daunting, especially when navigating the financial side of things, but Karen made the entire process so much easier. She was always happy to answer our questions, explain everything clearly and offer guidance and reassurance whenever we needed it. What really stood out was her genuine willingness to help and the time and effort she put into supporting us. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we always felt that she genuinely wanted to see us succeed. We would also highly recommend the British Business Bank as a whole. Everyone we have dealt with has been incredibly helpful, and the support and guidance available to people looking to start their own business has been invaluable. We are both extremely grateful for such a positive experience and for all the help we've received as we take this exciting step towards launching our business. A massive thank you to Karen and the team. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience!
An absolute 10/10 experience
An absolute 10/10 experience, brought our dream one step closer to reality!" Working with Helen at Biz Britain has been nothing short of phenomenal. From start to finish, the entire advisory process was smooth, simple, and completely stress free. Helen was exceptionally thorough, guiding me clearly on what was needed at every step while challenging me to think more deeply about critical details I hadn't even considered. Her customer service and expert guidance was outstanding. She didn't just help me navigate the process; she genuinely helped me and my wife get one step closer to launching something we have dreamt of doing for a long time. I couldn't have asked for a better advisor or a smoother journey. Highly recommend!
