Type in 'Business Gateway' on Google and see what comes back.
They do grants for new businesses and help you out with a business plan etc..
That way you get money, without having to pay it back!

Could be worth looking into

Skycard is issued by Barclaycard, and usually gives out quite low limits. I have a reasonable credit history (ex-stoozer) and I got a £2,000 credit limit, which is fairly typical according to this thread. Soon after applying for the Sky card, I got a Co-Op platinum card with a £5,000 credit limit.

My ex-partner, who is on Incapacity Benefit, got an HSBC Current Acount with £100 overdraft, debit card, cheque book, and credit card (not sure what the limit on the CC is).

Me, all I could get was a basic 'no frills' Nationwide account with a Cash Card when we split up 'cos I had been blacklisted through my partner's bad spending habits on the joint credit cards/bank account we had. Me thinks it is the wrong way round, after all, I'm the employed one but hey ho, at least I can control my spending whilst my ex is probably racking up debt that at least I won't have to mop up anymore!

why would you want to borrow money when you have no income coming in to pay it back?
