Often, a startup loan is the only cash a company has when it first begins to operate, and these loans are often provided when the business is little more than an idea.<\/p><p>The UK Government-backed startup loan scheme, offered by the British Business Bank, provides funds without requiring security, a personal guarantee, or a stake in the business.

The sum required, the length of time the money must last, the company\u2019s ability to repay, and the retention of ownership must all be considered.
