Start Up Loans is a UK government backed programme that offers finance, mentoring and support to entrepreneurs looking to start (or grow) a business in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In 2012, £151 million was made available to the scheme by the government to aid entrepreneurs with a target to start 30,000 new businesses by 2016.

In the 2015 Autumn Statement, the government announced that it would continue to support the programme for the remainder of their current term. The aim is to support another 10,000 entrepreneurs per year, taking the total to 75,000 by 2020.

The scheme is administered through a network of "Delivery Partners" across the country, including organisations such as Transmit Start-Ups, East London Small Business Centre, The Prince's Trust, X-Forces, BizBritain and Bright Ideas Trust.

The Start Up Loans scheme's mission is to equip entrepreneurs with the tools needed to make their business a success in all industries and sectors.

The Start Up Loans scheme was created within UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).
