Yes — the government-backed Start Up Loans scheme is designed exactly for this, and several lenders assess your plan and projections rather than past accounts.
Start Up Loans run from £500 to £25,000 per director (up to £100,000 per business). Other routes depend on your plan, projections and any security.
Checking your options with us doesn't involve a credit check. A full application with a lender may do — we'll tell you before that happens.
