What can Start Up loans be used for? How do you apply for a Start Up loan? And what information do you need to provide to give yourself the best chance of a successful application?

In the last few episodes we've heard from some of the entrepreneurs supported by BEF. There are many more to come.

But today, BEF Investment Manager Habib Karimi and Associate Investment Manager Amber Kershaw give us the benefit of their experience as they spill the beans on what makes for a successful Start Up loan application.

They also talk through some of the non-financial support BEF provides alongside Start Up and other loans; a typical day or week at BEF; and what they enjoy most about being part of the team.
