How do I get funding for a startup business?
Traditional banks are difficult for startups. But the market for early-stage business finance is larger than most people realise. Seven Hills Capital Group knows which lenders support new businesses.
To get funding for a startup business, you can apply for government-backed Start Up Loans, specialist early-stage business loans, or equipment finance. While high street banks require 2 to 3 years of accounts, a broker like Seven Hills Capital Group can navigate the growing market of alternative providers and government schemes that specifically support pre-revenue and early-stage businesses.
