What loans are available to Glasgow businesses?
Here at SME Loans, we work with a number of lenders that are able to help find a loan to suit a variety of Scottish small and medium sized businesses. We work with lenders that specialise in finding business finance for:
Startup Business Loans
Startup business loans are designed to help entrepreneurs who are looking to create a new business. Startup funding is notoriously difficult to be accepted for, especially from traditional lenders such as banks. Even the Scottish Loan Scheme currently provided by the Scottish Government requires businesses to have been trading for at least two-years, which rules out many startup businesses who are seeking finance.
New businesses are often rejected for startup funding because they’re considered a risky investment for a variety of reasons, such as a lack of experience of running a business or perhaps a poorly written business plan. As a credit broker, we work with multiple lenders who are able to provide startup loans to businesses in Glasgow and the rest of the UK.
