Kickstart your business journey with JR.
Start-up loans accelerate new businesses, equipping you with the tools you need to launch and find your feet. Whether you are after new kit, real estate, employing new staff, or want to ensure cash flow keeps flowing through the tricky first year, we can help.
We’ve been helping new businesses secure funds and futureproof their operations with start-up loans for over 20 years. Our close relationship with underwriters allows us to create flexible finance packages tailored to your needs, and we’ve been lending our own money to new-starts for over a decade too. Our experience and funding options mean we can secure funding where a rigid lender can’t – and unlock the first stage of your growth journey.

“We chose Johnson Reed as they came highly recommended – and what a choice it was! From start to finish they gave all the help and advice you don’t receive from the banks and with the banking system relying on a computer to make a decision, it’s sometimes hard to get finance. Johnson Reed try and get to know your circumstances on a personal level and help from there.”
