What is a Start Up Business Loan
Start‑up business loans fund the short‑to‑medium term needs of new and early‑stage businesses. They cover essential costs that help a business start trading and scale, without giving up equity. Common uses include equipment and fit‑out, initial inventory or seasonal stock, payroll and short‑term working capital, marketing and customer acquisition, and technology or systems that improve efficiency.
Typical uses
- Equipment & fit‑out: Purchase machinery, computers, or shop/office fit‑outs that enable trading.
- Inventory & stock: Buy initial or seasonal stock to fulfil orders and generate revenue.
- Working capital & payroll: Bridge timing gaps while sales ramp up.
- Marketing & customer acquisition: Fund launch campaigns, websites, and early sales activity.
- Technology & systems: Invest in software or tools that support growth and efficiency.
What lenders expect
- A clear one‑page use‑of‑funds plan showing how the loan will be repaid.
- Recent bank statements (typically 3 months) or early sales evidence.
- Basic financial projections or contracts/letters of intent for pre‑revenue applicants.
- Standard identity and director checks; personal credit may be considered.

What lenders look for
Lenders assess your ability to repay through recent bank statements and cash‑flow evidence, review business and personal credit history, and expect a clear one‑page use‑of‑funds showing how the loan will generate or protect revenue. They check trading history or early sales, any contracts or letters of intent, and basic financial projections. Lenders also consider available security or collateral and may request director identity checks and standard documentation (ID, 3 months of bank statements, invoices or contracts). For pre‑revenue applicants, founder credit, the credibility of projections, and supporting contracts carry more weight. Preparing these items speeds decisions and improves the quality of offers.
Documents to prepare
- 3 months of bank statements
- One‑page use‑of‑funds plan
- Basic financial projections or sales forecasts
- Invoices, contracts, or letters of intent (if available)
- ID and director details for checks
Quick checklist
- Show clear cash‑flow or repayment source.
- Provide a concise use‑of‑funds plan.
- Gather bank statements and any sales evidence.
- Be ready for standard identity and credit checks.
