How it works
Here's how the assessment works
This assessment reviews the core factors considered in a Start Up Loan application. It gives you an early indication of how your application may be viewed before you formally apply.
It's built on over 14 years of experience supporting more than 10,000 entrepreneurs to secure Start Up Loans, totalling over £125 million in funding.
It does not affect your credit score and does not commit you to applying.
