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.

Start Up Loan Application
I had a very positive experience working with Helen throughout my Start Up Loan application. She was extremely helpful, professional and quick to respond whenever I had any queries. The whole process went very smoothly and Helen kept me informed and supported me at every stage, which made the application process straightforward. I’m very grateful for all of her help and would definitely recommend Helen and BizBritain to anyone applying for a Start Up Loan.

The 3 B's Brilliant Biz Britain
As someone who was unsure of what to expect, I was very fortunate to find Karen Sawyer. She was a fabulous help . Friendly, knowledgeable and always there for all the questions, some silly ones in there as well, with answers. She put me at ease from the first call. The whole experience was simple and stress free. Also Lee who assisted with finding companies for Insurances etc. If you are in any doubt about working with these guys, don't be. I'll miss our messages. They are Brilliant!
