No income, no loan

If you don't have a job with a regular income then don't bother applying. Despite being a startup loan you will need a job / steady income to prove affordability. Despite being profitable because I'm not taking a salary and don't have a fixed income every month they declined me. Like most Government schemes this is a shambles. My business advisor was either fired or resigned half way through (Os Morgan) and I didn't even receive any updates on my application progress. Communication was poor and the overall experience was negative. Don't waste your time.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry to hear about your frustrations.

We understand how crucial access to funding is for start-ups, and we regret that we couldn’t meet your expectations in this instance. Please note that there is no requirement to be employed to apply for a start-up loan; you can still apply even if you do not have a regular income. However, our loan approval process does include an affordability assessment, which can be challenging for some start-ups. We appreciate your feedback on this matter.

I apologise for any lapses in communication and the lack of updates from your Business Support Partner on your application progress. This does not align with our commitment to providing transparent and supportive service. Your feedback will be used constructively to address these issues internally. Please be assured that we are investigating your case thoroughly.

If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your situation in more detail, please feel free to contact me directly at hello@startuploans.co.uk. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns.

Kind regards,

X-forces are beyond a joke

X-forces are beyond a joke. The rate is good because its back by the business bank but these clowns are not bankers. Now at 4 months, still asking for the same information over and over again. in all honesty if you are a veteran don't disclose this as you will be diverted here to an offshored company. in the last 2 weeks since i have have had a new "account manager" i have provided the same documents but updated. Going to complete the journey to write about it. but thus far going to a high street would have taken 2 days.

Avoid at All Costs: Terrible Experience with This Start-Up Loan Company


I had an unbelievably frustrating experience with this company that I feel compelled to share as a warning to others. Avoid this company at all costs. They wasted 3 months of my time with endless, redundant requests for information. Despite my excellent credit score, never missing a payment, and my business invoicing over 100K in just 6 months, they still refused to grant a measly 15K loan for essential equipment and licenses we needed to grow.

The entire process was a nightmare. Daniel Hughes, who was handling our case, was an absolute disaster. He was disorganized, incredibly difficult to communicate with, and kept asking for more and more information until it became unbearable. Even worse, when trying to call Daniel we kept speaking to a guy called Nathan, the situation deteriorated further. Nathan's attitude was disrespectful, unprofessional, and showed zero respect for us as clients.

We are now in the process of filing a complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) because this company should not be allowed to provide such terrible service. They market themselves as providing "start-up loans," but even if your business is thriving, they will still find an excuse to deny you.

Trust the poor reviews you see about this company. I wish I had. There are plenty of better options out there. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this company at all costs. Absolutely awful experience—never again.

Apply but set very low expectations

Today I received an automated email stating:

"Your Start Up Loan application has now expired, as we were unable to make a full assessment of your application in 90 days"

Credit checked were passed and after two weeks the business plan had no outstanding information.

The irony is that one month ago I asked the business partner about updates and that I was concerned about reviews of applicants waiting 3-6 months for a decision. They told me that they have never had an application take that long.

I was told to take assurance that they are a senior underwriter and that things will move quickly after a meeting with credit team that they are waiting to hear from.

Surprise, surprise, my application has no lapsed and all previously submitted information are invalid.

I would encourage anyone to apply but set extremely low expectations. Have a plan B. If you apply with the view to capitalise on a opportunity in the next 3-6 months, pursue other avenues as well.

It's shocking that applications for small amounts of funding that are not grants or business loans but personal loans take lots of paper work and months to receive a decision. Either the credit team is under recoursed or have ancient and slow business processes.

Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We deeply apologise for any inconvenience and frustration you encountered during your Start Up Loan application process.

We understand how disheartening it can be when expectations are not met, especially when it involves something as important as financing for your business. While we strive to provide efficient and timely service to all our applicants, it seems we fell short of this commitment in your case, and for that, we are truly sorry.

It's important for us to clarify that while we aim to complete the process within 8 weeks, sometimes it may take longer, depending on various factors such as the complexity of the application and the thoroughness required in assessing it. Our Business Support Partners (BSPs) are dedicated to ensuring responsible lending practices, which involve carefully evaluating the viability of your business and the affordability of the loan.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we take it seriously. If you have any concerns about the service provided by your BSP, we encourage you to communicate them directly. Alternatively, you can reach out to our customer service team at hello@startuploans.co.uk, and we will do everything we can to address your concerns and assist you further.

Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Wasting time

A complete waste of time and resources. They ask for extensive documentation and waste your time:
1. Credit check before anything else, which will dramatically reduce your credit ASAP!
2. They ask for the following:
- Survival budget
- Business plan
- Financial projection
- Bank statements
- Proof of ID
- Proof of income
Then they start communicating with you, which takes more than 3 months. Sometimes, they don't respond for over a month. Then they ask for ANOTHER CREDIT CHECK!!! This means your credit is already destroyed.
Plus your business idea with full documentation is exposed, god knows how many people will have acees to it.
Then they will say no and ask you to prove this and that, etc. THEIR LOAN IS IN YOUR NAME, NOT FOR YOUR BUSINESS, SO IT IS A PERSONAL LOAN!!

If you have good credit, just go to your bank’s mobile app and ask for a car loan. It takes 5 minutes, and the money is in your bank within 24 working hours. Then loan your business yourself.

They just collect data for their subsidiary company or the advisors to use these data and ideas. God knows how they monetize these ideas. They are looking for individuals who have good credit.

We understand your concerns regarding the extensive documentation required and the time it takes for our communication and decision-making process. We are continuously reviewing our procedures to streamline the process and minimise delays.

Regarding the credit check, we conduct this as part of our responsible lending practices to assess your financial situation and ensure that the loan is affordable for you. Please note that Start Up Loan is designed to support individuals who may have difficulty securing finance from traditional lenders. We offer more flexibility with credit checks to ensure accessibility for aspiring entrepreneurs. If you are able to get a loan from a high street lender, you may not be eligible to apply for a start-up loan. You can review our eligibility criteria here. https://www.startuploans.co.uk/am-i-eligible/

Your feedback regarding the exposure of your business idea and the handling of personal information is taken seriously. We prioritise the security and confidentiality of our applicants' data and are committed to safeguarding it throughout the application process. You can view our privacy policy here. https://www.startuploans.co.uk/privacy-policy/

Awful process

As expected with any government backed organisation and scheme, this is such a waste of time. You spend valuable time creating an A+ business plan with tons of market research, backed up theory and existing performance data. End up waiting weeks for a response to your case and get feedback requesting 'additional information' that could be found on page 1 of the business plan.... Extremely poor evaluation of your hard work and seriously lazy case handlers asking numerous pointless questions that you've extensively covered. BEST ADVICE - Don't waste your time applying for this loan. Take out a personal loan using your credit score instead!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve encountered during the application process.

You will not get a penny from them

According to my personal experience, this is the most unhelpful loan company, I must agree with other people who has got bad experience with them, don't waste your time, they are very keen to take all your information (ID, bank statement, savings account even CV), once they have all the information, they stop contact you and let you wait for weeks, then question you what you have put down on business plan, cashflow, etc. I read the review, I do believe these one star reviews were true, these 5 stars review were fake, probably their own employee left it. Please do not dealing with this company. The lady dealing with my case is call Victoria Fox, no reply from her for weeks, then drop me an email saying they are extremely busy, then ask me for more information. Telling me the loan is designed for people find it difficultly to obtain loan from somewhere else, they told me according to my financial situation, I don't need the loan from them, I can just use my savings. If people find it difficult to get a loan, you (as Start up loan company) will not lend any money to these people, don't go there, just wasting your time. Use your time better to focus on your business, rather then these time wasting people.

4 weeks of time completely waste with no correspondence at all.

I made an application for a £20,000 start up loan to fund my new business venture’s cash flow in the first instance. The process was very quick to begin with and having passed the credit check I wrote a very detailed business plan, cash flow forecast and personal budget sheet at their request. This took me around 3 full working days to complete and proof read.
It’s now 4 weeks since my application was submitted and I haven’t had one single bit of correspondence from the company. I’ve called twice for an update and on both occasions was advised I’d receive a phone call and email shortly, neither of which materialised. I’m now looking at other options not through choice but that I have none. Very disappointed with the experience, I can see others are providing positive reviews but I have received the polar opposite experience. Absolutely no explanation whatsoever for the lack of contact either. Very strange. I wouldn’t recommend this route if you’re keen on putting your own time to good use.

Not helpful at all.

I asked for additional support during the application process, and requested a phone conversation, but this was not offered. After they responded to one of my emails, I replied within a few minutes, only to receive a notification that the person had gone on holiday. By the time they returned, my credit check had expired. I really trusted that they would help me, but I am very disappointed. I spent time working on the business plan and meeting all their requests. I don’t understand the purpose of all this if they did not support me when I asked for it.
