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.

Excellent Support from BizBritain
Title: Excellent Support Throughout My Start Up Loan Application I had a very positive experience with BizBritain throughout my Start Up Loan application. The team was professional, supportive, and helpful at every stage. They explained the process clearly, answered my questions, and guided me through the necessary steps. I really appreciate their time, patience, and assistance in helping me move forward with my business. I would highly recommend BizBritain to anyone looking for support with a Start Up Loan application.
Two great experiences
I have had two loans with BizBritain with the second one just approved, and I was wonderfully supported by Karl Willetts. They are very understanding of small business challenges and really do care for your success. Thank you for all your support!
