Waste of space and time
The divide between the business advisor, who seem to know what he was doing and recommended my business and the actual understanding of the business by the SULCO's team is bigger than the grand canyon .Passed all the credit checks , they had to check twice because the spelled my name wrong , which means I now have to wait 6 months for my credit score to reset . They also temporarily demolished the hopes of a up and coming young entrepeneur that placed a lot of faith in the process based on a balanced and positive attitude from our business advisor . In the end it is a "personal loan " do yourself a favour and apply at your business bank slightly higher interest rate without all the empty promises .As a start up we already had most of the equipment required and have proven via a test run that the business do have the potential of growing . Waste of space this lot ,David on the other hand was worth talking to and I know he tried his best . Thx David

Hi Hendrik,
I am very sorry to hear that your application journey didn’t go well, and that you felt a disconnection between SULCO and your Business Support Partner.
Regarding the credit check, please note that it’s the applicant who provides their personal details, including their full name, and confirms the accuracy of this information before consenting to the credit check. We understand that credit checks can have an impact on your credit history, and while they are necessary to assess initial loan eligibility, they are only one part of the process. Passing this stage doesn’t guarantee loan approval, as further assessments are required.
During these assessments, we carefully review key business documents to evaluate the viability and sustainability of the business, as well as the applicant's ability to make repayments. It’s a combination of these factors that helps determine the final outcome.
If you’d like to discuss your situation in more detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at hello@startuploans.co.uk. We’d be happy to explore this further with you.
Kind regards.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Arafat on securing a business loan, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Initially, I was concerned about how long the process might take and was worried that communication with the organization would be challenging. However, Arafat completely turned this around for me. He made the entire application process incredibly smooth and efficient.
What really stood out was how Arafat kept me informed every step of the way. I always knew exactly what was required from me, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. His professionalism and clear communication made all the difference, and I’m truly grateful for his assistance.

I think they overpromise via their marketing and under deliver. Real opportunities are being killed I beleive. They wasted my time and pls remember guys, their initial credit search will affect your records and scores negatively instantly. But my first business manager was straightforward. I think you must outline clearly all thr processes from the home page so everyone understands the complete process as well as impact on their credit scores that your search will print

Why can't you then perform the credit check after initial assessment?

Hello there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and that you feel our services have negatively impacted your credit score. We strive to be transparent about our processes and the potential impacts.
We are committed to transparency, and all information about the application process is available on our website. Before proceeding with a credit check, you are required to consent to a full credit check by ticking the consent box. We also provide detailed information about the application process, credit checks, and the required documents on our site.
We conduct a personal credit check to avoid increasing financial indebtedness that may overburden an individual borrower. However, we aim to offer funding to those who might not be able to obtain credit elsewhere, allowing us to be more flexible than other lenders
Additionally, our business support partners make lending decisions based on your credit check in conjunction with key documents such as your Business Plan, Cash Flow Forecast, and Personal Survival Budget. They may also request bank statements to ensure due diligence and responsible lending. Please note that the entire process, from start to finish, can take up to 8 weeks.
If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@startuploans.co.uk. We value your input and are committed to improving based on your experience.

Terrible service
Very slow in processing the application, took 2 months to get the second stage of the process and still haven't finalised the process. They are making it difficult for beginner start ups to get the loan, which does not meet the needs of the start up companies. Also requested same documents 3 times and asking to much personal information on the what the loan is going to be spent on, at the same time the loan can't be used for multiple things related to growing a business. Not happy with how they run the process.

Dear Elena,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the delays and any inconvenience you’ve experienced during the application process.
We understand the importance of timely processing for start-ups and are continuously working to improve our procedures. Your Business Support Partner requests documents and personal information to ensure compliance with our guidelines and to provide the best support for your business.
As a responsible lender using public funds, it is essential for our Business Support Partners to request additional documentation. The start-up loan is a personal loan, and we need to gather personal information to ensure our finance partner is lending responsibly and diligently.
Regarding the use of the loan, we aim to provide clear guidelines to help you maximise its effectiveness for your business growth. While we understand this might sometimes seem restrictive, it is necessary to ensure that the purpose of the loan is eligible under the terms of the scheme.
Your feedback is valuable to us, and we are taking steps to address these issues and improve our service. If you have any further concerns or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out directly. You can contact us at hello@startuploans.co.uk
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
