Business loans

Business loans are available through the main high-street banks and the recently established challenger banks, such as Monzo, Revolut and Starling.

Shopping around for the best deal for personal and business circumstances is important. Factors to consider are the:

  • amount you need to borrow
  • rate of interest charged
  • repayment period that you can afford

For a business start-up, the loan will likely need to be secured against a personal asset such as your house or other property.
