About the event
Since being launched in 2016, over 122,000 businesses have benefited from a government-backed Start Up Loan.
Join colleagues from the British Business Bank as they explain what a Start Up Loan is, the support applicants enjoy beyond the funding itself, and the overall impact of the scheme for UK start-ups.
With special guests including Start Up Loan recipients, partners, and experts from the British Business Bank, this event will help you decide if a Start Up Loan is right for you and your business aspirations.
This event is aimed at individuals new to finance.
