What the scheme actually is
The government backs the lender, so the lender backs you.
The Growth Guarantee Scheme is run by the British Business Bank. It does not hand you money directly. Instead, the government guarantees 70% of the lender's risk, which makes accredited lenders far more willing to approve finance for acquisitions. You remain fully responsible for repaying the loan.
Built for acquisitions
The finance can be used to buy an existing business, fund growth, or invest. We focus on getting acquisition deals funded.
Better odds of a yes
With 70% of the risk guaranteed by government, lenders can say yes to deals that would otherwise stall for lack of security.
How it works
Three simple steps.
1

You complete with the lender
You deal directly with the accredited lender to finalise and draw down the finance. The agreement is between you and them.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do I get 70% of the purchase price as free funding?
No. The 70% is a guarantee the government gives the lender, covering 70% of their risk if things go wrong. It makes lenders more willing to approve your finance. You still borrow the money and repay it in full.
Who can qualify?
We currently work with UK limited companies and LLPs with turnover under £45 million, looking to fund a business acquisition or growth. The scheme is delivered only through British Business Bank accredited lenders.
Why only limited companies and LLPs?
It lets us operate as a straightforward introduction service. We're expanding to sole traders and partnerships soon. Leave your details and we'll be in touch when we do.
How much can I borrow?
Facilities go up to £2 million, depending on the lender, your deal and your circumstances.
What does it cost me?
The eligibility check is free. We'll be clear about any fees before you commit to anything. We are paid for successful introductions to lenders.
Are you a lender or a bank?
No. We are an independent introduction service. We connect you with accredited lenders; the loan agreement is always directly between you and the lender.
