The Start Up Loans scheme is backed by the UK Government and delivered through the British Business Bank. As an accredited delivery partner, Ian can guide you through the whole process — from a fundable business plan to the application itself.
Because it's a personal loan for business purposes, there's no need to secure it against your home or business assets — and every loan comes with free mentoring built in.
Figures shown for guidance only. Loans are subject to status and eligibility; terms are set by the British Business Bank and may change. Startup Assist UK is a delivery partner, not the lender.
Honest and simple — and always agreed up front, never a surprise.
A one-off project fee for the work of getting your plan built and your funding secured. The exact figure depends on where you're starting from and how much support you need.
An optional monthly retainer if you'd like Ian to stay on as you scale. Month to month, cancel any time — no long lock-ins.
Ian confirms your fees on a free, no-obligation call — before you commit to anything.
Answer four quick questions and Ian will point you to the right starting point — and tell you honestly if he's not the best fit.
