How bizbritain is paid
bizbritain is a Start Up Loans Business Support Partner. We're paid a fee by the Start Up Loans Company for each successful loan we complete. Nothing is charged to you, and it doesn't change your rate or terms.
No early-repayment penalty
If you want to pay the loan off early, there's no penalty for doing so.
A word of warning
Nobody legitimate will ask you to pay to apply for a Start Up Loan. That includes us, the Start Up Loans Company and any other Business Support Partner. If someone asks you for money to "secure" or "fast-track" a Start Up Loan, don't pay. Contact us or the Start Up Loans Company.
