Many of its reviewing customers (63% to be exact) have complained about the poor communication they had received and some quite a few stated that they had been rejected, even if they had a clean credit report. This can sometimes be the case, not all loan applications are accepted, even if you meet the eligibility criteria but, it is quite unique to see this many complaints regarding this.  <\/p><p>On the other side of the coin, 33% of Start Up Loans customers rated the subsidiary of British Business Bank as \u201cExcellent\u201d or 5 out of 5 stars. <\/p><p>It seems to be, those customers who had detailed business plans and relevant documents were more likely to receive a loan. In particular, one customer commented: \u201cI have found this entire process to be faultless. I was doubtful given some of the reviews as my credit score is not the best.\u201d<\/p>                                    \n<style>\n.tablefade { height: 850px; width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: scroll; }\n.tablefade .luna-table { position: relative; border-left: none !important; }\n.tablefade th:first-child, .tablefade td:first-child { position: sticky; left: 0; background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #d4d3ce; z-index: 2; }\n.tablefade .luna-table td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.tablefade tbody tr:hover td { background-color: #f5f4ef !important; }\n.tablefadeafter { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 100%); width: 100%; height: 10rem; margin-top: -10rem; margin-bottom: 4rem; position: relative; pointer-events: none; }\n.tablefade img { min-width: 96px; min-height: 53px; }\n\n.tablefade-filtered { max-height: 500px; width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto; }\n.tablefade-filtered .luna-table { position: relative; border-left: none !important; }\n.tablefade-filtered th:first-child, .tablefade-filtered td:first-child { position: sticky; left: 0; background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #d4d3ce; z-index: 2; }\n.tablefade-filtered .luna-table td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.tablefade-filtered tbody tr:hover td { background-color: #f5f4ef !important; }\n.tablefadeafter-filtered { background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 100%); width: 100%; height: 3rem; margin-top: -3rem; margin-bottom: 4rem; position: relative; pointer-events: none; z-index: 5; }\n\n.lightbox { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 9999; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); }\n.lightbox img { display: block; max-width: 90%; max-height: 90%; margin: auto; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); }\n<\/style>\n\n                    \n    \n\n<div id=\"lightbox\" class=\"lightbox\" onclick=\"closeLightbox()\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"lightbox-img\" src=\"\" alt=\"Expanded Finder Badge\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n  function openLightbox(event, imageUrl) {\n    event.preventDefault();\n    const lb = document.getElementById('lightbox');\n    const lbImg = document.getElementById('lightbox-img');\n    if(lb && lbImg) {\n        lbImg.src = imageUrl;\n        lb.style.display = \"block\";\n    }\n  }\n  function closeLightbox() {\n    const lb = document.getElementById('lightbox');\n    if(lb) lb.style.display = \"none\";\n  }\n<\/script><h3>Alternative sources of funding<\/h3><p>It\u2019s a good idea to explore all of your options when looking into raising funding for your small business.
