Applying for a startup loan can feel a bit daunting when you're doing it for the first time.
You might be unsure what information you need, how much detail to include or what happens after you send your application.
In this webinar, George Brown from Start Up Loans will talk you through the process. He'll explain who can apply, what documents you'll need to prepare, and how your application will be reviewed.
This includes the main things you'll be asked for, such as your business plan, cash flow forecast and personal survival budget.
The session will also cover what makes an application easier to assess, what applicants often overlook and what support is available if your loan is approved.
By the end, you should have a clearer picture of how the process works and what you need to do before applying.
