“Very Helpful”

★★★★★

written by Melton328 on 07/02/2017

At first, I was a bit sceptical, but decided to give them a try last year September and I was approved for a £15,000 grant. They were very helpful in searching for programs that suit my business needs.

“Easy to communicate ”

★★★★★

written by Jonesgc338 on 17/11/2016

I currently signed upto the UKBFC to find funds and grants for my new business.I liked the fact that there were many leads to all areas and types of business and they covered everything possible. Due to my own lack of time I did not make full use of the service. when I called into speak to an operator they were always pleasant and clear with instruction.What made it easy to use wasthat you can breakdown the type of funding or area you re looking into.

Strange that this one and the one below from jghazanfar is identical even though they were written on different dates by different people, even the spelling mistakes are the same!!!!! Written by UKBG's no doubt.

“Does what it says”

★★★★★

written by DeMelo1 on 03/10/2016

After approaching UKBFC, the procedure was explained in the simplest manner and after paying for the database, it was accessible within hours. After finding the right grant for us we applied and within 6 weeks we were awarded £12,000. A fantastic service that literally does what it says. Can't recommend highly enough.

I bought the membership in March 2016 and was just recently approved thru the skills training program for a 75 percent non repayable match funding loan. I thank the company for their help and assistance in allowing me to find this scheme and apply

“wonderful service and product”

★★★★★

written by on 30/08/2016

i loved the service I received from the person I spoke to on the phone. They were very helpful and guided me to several codes and schemes in my area. Upon logging in and entering my codes I was able to apply for funding and received an answer shortly thereafter.

“Helpful mentor and funding”

★★★★★

written by Rhettk1992 on 29/08/2016

I saw this companies website and called the number on it. I spoke to a friendly young man who directed me to purchase a membership. I paid a fee of 350 pounds and got their database on which I used the keyword search to be connected to a mentor in sutton who then forwarded me to getting a grant. Thank you to the ukbf for helping me in my search.

“Excellent service and data”

★★★★★

written by GisselleHardy421 on 09/08/2016

I got funding through the ukbfc and am now writing this review to get reimbursed of my purchase price. The service was very helpful and included everything that I needed. It is self explanatory and features a lot of data and knowledge. Thank you for all your assistance.

“Very happy!”

★★★★★

written by mcawood on 27/07/2016

Acquiring funding for new business is a daunting task, with so many schemes having restrictions which limit the available sources. The vast database offered by UKBFC enabled me to discover schemes I could not have known about by other means. Knowing that a refund was obtainable upon securing funding made me all the more determined and I am happy to say that within just a few months, I had not only the loan I needed but also an invaluable local mentoring resource.

“Found funding for me”

★★★★★

written by JefferyStuart84 on 18/07/2016

This company was extremely helpful in my search for funding. They broke down my needs and showed me which grants I should go for first and then some angel investors to raise cash flow. They really gave me hope and led me down the right path. Thank you so much

“Funding explanations made easy”

★★★★★

written by Forsyth459 on 06/07/2016

The basics were explained who to talk to and when to fill out the forms by and the business plan builder to be filled out. You need to follow instructions to a tee and then you can follow up as needed for whatever you require the guidance for.

written by on 21/06/2016

The Ukbfc helped us understand the things and processes that we needed for applying for government grants and they gguided us into the right direction. We came across them while looking for government grants online and they were very friendly and helpful in giving us the major tools necessary for our business and proving us with incredible resources.

“Got funding elsewhere”

★★★★★

written by GiovanniMcIntosh on 06/06/2016

I bought the package, but was able to secure funding through a family. Never logged in and called them and let them know. Since I hadn't logged in got a refund. Found everyone I spoke with very knowledgeable and helpful. Really enjoyed talking to them even though didn't go through with the funding.

“Excellent development tool”

★★★★★

written by Aronh353 on 21/05/2016

I bought the 349 membership and got a passcode that gave me access to loads of funding schemes. I then got some good contacts with several funding partners and was approved for a grant to update my pollytunnel & farming equipment. I then sent them my contract & answered some questions & got my 349 back and some marketing. Feel free to ring me to verify & discuss.

“Recommended to Business Startups”

★★★★★

written by 183McDaniel on 22/04/2016

Im not sure why there are so many negative reviews here about the UK Funding Centre. It's obvious that the people that are posting reviews are expecting something to be given to them for free. The service and the people are great and very helpful especially the gentleman i spoke with who helped me find programmes that were good for my business. Still waiting on the government for a reply, but what do you expect from our government. I recommend the UK Business Centre to anyone looking to startup or expand their business and dont want to waste any more time.

“I would like to recommend this organization to all my...”

★★★★★

written by on 29/07/2015

They were like a raft for me which saved me from drowning in all the debt I had accumulated. After graduating from college, I searched for jobs, but couldn’t get any due to the lack of work experience and references. I worked odd jobs to support myself, but that wasn’t enough. Not only did I have to provide for the basics, I also had to repay my student loan! I decided to start my own outdoor advertisement business for which I required some grants. My uncle suggested to me that I apply for a grant scheme. I kept looking online for different options when I came across this organization. I was very satisfied after talking to their professional agents as they had answered all my queries and later helped me in getting my grant approved. I really want to thank them.

This is very inspiring, thank you for sharing. I'm finding myself in a similar position and it's very difficult to cope with...thinking about doing the same as yourself in starting a small business to eventually gain revenue. This company seems to be the simplest and easiest opportunity for finding grants that won't have to be paid back, so that I can actually gain revenue in starting up my business and eventually pay off all of my debt from school. Thanks again for sharing.

“Got wings to my business dream after getting grant”

★★★★★

written by on 28/07/2015

I have tried their service in the past. I did my research before paying for their service. I found out that everyone have their own experience with them. I found mixed reviews(positive and negative) about them. So, I gave them a shot for my loan. I required loan to start my own business after my graduation and got it so easily with the help of these professionals. They made the whole process look so simple. They know their stuff very well and have good information and links in helping you getting loan for your business.

I have a letter stating that £15,000 grant has been approved. They want me to pay £175 for the money to be released. Is this a trick?

Anything where you pay them money to gain more money back is certainly a trick. Think about it realistically - your giving them £175 and they're going to give you £15,000 for that £175 - this is the oldest trick in the book.

Absolutely! They were a dissolved company when I checked at the time I left the review which means they are not legally allowed to be trading, they have been GND out to be a scam before, this is just another method of them trying to scam money out of people. At least you have it as a letter, so you have proof if you have already paid it and found it is a trick. If you have paid it, speak to trading standards, if not, I seriously would not pay it. There are no grants out there that require you to pay a middle man, any that are available can be found by searching google for 'business grants uk' and go direct to wherever is giving them out.  Good luck!

if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is... if i had to ask myself this question i would say to myself stay away! also if they want £175 admin fee you can pay them after you get the grant...

I know I've been suckered, having payed £378 for access to their 'funding finder' database. I've tried to find loan/grant application forms on their site several times on their advice following several phone calls to them, but keep getting returned to the same funding finder page. Has anyone had any success with this yet, or are their claims just false? Thanks for reading.

Their claims are false, I am sorry that you have given them the money, especially as you can access the same information for free through the government website and get better free advice. This company should be shut down and all money returned to the people they have ripped off.
