Start up loan and credit check

Did anyone get a start up loan and is their credit check the same as for a personal loan which means without credit history you have no chance of getting it?

  • Any sane lender will credit check you firstly before they open a business account for you and then lend their money to you.
    If there were no checks we would all be asking for these loans would we not?

    Would you?You have to have a business plan approved to even start applying and business registered.

  • As JonesMUFCforever rightly says a credit check would be normal prior to any loan decision. For a new business they would have to credit check the owner as there is no business assets or credit history. FWIW don't pay for anything about your score - you can access your file with any credit agency free, and for a business credit check this shows why if it's new the credit risk will naturally be greater
