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.

Very straight forward and easy to apply for .
Thank you Karl!
I made another application and my loan proposer was Karl Willets (he also helped me the first time). Karl was brilliant, he helped me understand the whole process clearly and kept be updated along the way. Thank you so much Karl.
I worked with Suhail Nisar at…
I worked with Suhail Nisar at BizBritain on a Start Up Loan to acquire an established business, and I am very glad I did. My application was detailed and document-heavy, involving an existing trading business and a number of moving parts, and Suhail took the time to work through all of it properly. When the underwriter came back with several queries, he handled them thoroughly and got everything resubmitted quickly, which kept my application moving. The result was an approval in principle, which means a great deal to me and to the next chapter I am working towards. I am grateful for his diligence and for getting me over the line. Five stars and thank you.
