Who bizbritain is
A specialist broker, not a high-street bank.
bizbritain has been helping British founders fund their businesses since 2012. We're an FCA-authorised commercial finance brokerage and an official delivery partner of the British Business Bank's Start Up Loans scheme.
That covers businesses at every stage. The starter loan a high-street bank turns down (the £15,000 a barber needs for a chair, the £25,000 a mobile groomer needs for a van), we fund through the Government-backed scheme. The growth facility to hire staff or open a second site, we match to the right lender. And the £750k deal to buy a business outright, we have the relationships and the team to put it together.
Plain English, real humans, a named advisor on every case, and an Excellent 5* rating on Trustpilot. We're also fast: enquiries answered the same working day, and applications prepared properly the first time so lenders can say yes sooner.

Fantastic experience once you get…
Fantastic experience once you get going. The process is very quick, with constant reminders for help. Karl Willets was assigned to help me with my application; he was amazing to work with, so friendly and helpful and made great suggestions to help me get a successful application.
Absolutely fantastic support from Karen…
Absolutely fantastic support from Karen Sawyer! I honestly couldn’t recommend Karen enough. From the very beginning of my Start Up Loan application, she was incredibly helpful, supportive and professional. She took the time to guide me through every step of the process, answer all of my questions and make sure I understood everything clearly. Starting my own business, The Blush Room, has been a huge step for me, and having Karen there throughout the application process made such a difference. She was always approachable, reassuring and genuinely wanted to see me succeed.
I Highly Recommend BizBritain and Emily Lynch
I can highly recommend BizBritain and Emily Lynch who from start to finish were very helpful, supportive, informative and guided me in all aspects of applying and successfully securing a Start-Up-Loan. Big Thank You Emily!
Fantastic Experience
I had a fantastic experience dealing with Zoe Burke throughout my Start Up Loan application. From the very beginning, Zoe was incredibly helpful, informative and easy to talk to. Starting a new business and going through the funding process can feel quite daunting, but Zoe made everything straightforward and was always willing to explain things clearly whenever I had a question. What I appreciated most was how approachable and supportive she was throughout the whole process. I never felt rushed or like I was just another application. Zoe genuinely seemed to want to help me get everything in place and give my new business the best possible start. I’m extremely grateful for all of her help and would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Zoe to anyone going through the Start Up Loan process. Thank you again, Zoe — your help has genuinely made a big difference to me and to the start of my business. 5 stars without hesitation.

Absolutely brilliant all the way through and always quick to respond to emails and calls. Emily was brilliant all the way through thank tou
