    Your local credit union will lend to you after a short period of regular saving. I don't know about other lenders, but it will depend on the amount and demonstration of means to repay. Various payday loan and doorstep lenders will lend, but at a hefty long term price. Your credit union may be able to give you free financial advice too.
