I didn't have much luck getting any money prior to joining UK Startups. And was quite clear as to why. The experts helped me with the plan, financial statements but more so with the wording as I was unable to do it right on my own, they helped. They were solely responsible for me obtaining the funds.

After initially struggling with the platform, I reached out to the experts who assured me I was in good hands. Worked with the team on the business plan for a few days and sorted it all out. My mistake for assuming I could apply without the plan being ready. Glad I took the advice. October 25th, I applied for the guided funding scheme and was approved in 3 days of my application being submitted. I wouldn't have known of the grant if it wasn't for my expert helping me and urging me to apply. Thank you for your patience with me.

The team were great. They helped me with various steps of the business startup process. Wasn't easy, but I got through it. I work days and needed support late at night and UK Startups was always there. Eventually, not that I am done the process I applied for funding and was curious as to how much I can apply for. He guided me and was successful in obtaining me the money I needed.

I joined UK Startup in March and initially didn't dedicate the time needed but the individual assigned to me kept consistently following up and kept me in the loop. I decided to apply mid-april, and by month end was contacted regarding funding approval. Since this, I've engaged more with additional options and secured further Funds for my entreprise.

The investment was a sound decision considering the help recieved by the UK Startups team. From the first day the lads here helped with really understanding my business when nobody else would. They asked the questions and really got know it, the small, fine details. This impressed me, knowing they cared. Once the funding search was under way, representative and the search team really took charge to guide me, education me on the options and getting me to understand what I should do. True help is hard to find but this, definitely was a sound decision

Applied for funding with UKSTARTUPS.ORG and had a positive experience. I was offered multiple options to consider, grants loans, tax breaks and various private lenders. Plenty to opt for x a small business startup. My concern was being pre revenue and still building out but managed to get help from the guys here. Very supportive lads and helpful with the funding search but also assisting with any and all questions there after. My concerns were only about not being able to speak with them on the phone as I felt the financial service required it, but was quickly overcome as they provide great service, fast response and truly are helpful

Thanks to the help from the agents, I was able to apply for various schemes that were matched to me after my business plan was done. They did my plan for me as well after I struggled a bit. After applying I wanted 6 weeks. A bit long and somewhat frustrating but was reassured each step of the way and happy with funds I recieved. Only negative was that I wasn't able to speak on the phone as sometimes this would be more efficient. However the team did surpass my epxctation on many occasions. Thank you

Used the UK Startups platform to find options of funding that I would have otherwise not been privie to. Helpful service with many pros.

I was very disappointed with UKStartups. Initially they were super keen and phoned me many times to sell their product, as soon as I paid I could never get them on the phone, no matter how many times I asked and requested. During the sales pitch they very heavily implied there would be lots of options for financing my business and said there had be lots similar to mine that had been funded. I can tell you first hand that unless you are a social enterprise the chance of getting funding is very low. The user interface is pretty awful and outdated and the 'funding database' is also terrible however many times I search it. The list of private fudning options is criminally bad, it is basically a list of linkedin links, but the vast majority are no longer working! there is no way to search by key words or tags. Overall just super disappointing.

The platform here is worth every minute that I spent in it. When it comes to the level of support that is provided, the great team of experts behind it and with plenty of government funding info, it is a great money and time investment for a business owner.

Aside from his knowledge and experiences that he shared with me while working with me on my plan and pitch, he is a polite man, very understanding of my personal circumstances and definitely went above and beyond to make this work for me.

We applied for multiple grant options in the funding database. Plenty of useful options to apply to. Good support team

50,000 pounds in government funding was received thanks to the UK Startups and persistence

I recieved 6 funding searches and didn't find helpful options. Sure I was picky but with a startup, you kinda have to be so you're not just throwing money around. My 7th search turned into 45,000 in funding!

I spent 6 months with the tools so far and they are great. The same experience from day one. Friendly attitude with all experts and staff. They are a good team to work with on a startup.

He was a super friendly guy and very knowledgeable with the farming industry. Gave me plenty of ideas and took charge with my plan to find the funds.

I got a grant to cover my staff wages. Experience was a bit pro longer in my opinion but government stuff seems to always drag. £15k recieved.

The platform is helpful and the support team - very helpful. No issues on my end and was able to get funds in 3 months.

After our application were submitted, it took 3 months to hear back. I kinda gave up until I got the call. Canada Startups was the reason we kept pushing and got the help.
