Scottish business loans, explained
Scotland boasts businesses in all industries – from construction and tourism to life sciences. Many harness the research and innovation potential of universities in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, St Andrews, Strathclyde and Stirling, among others. In fact, research and development are big in Edinburgh, which is why it's cited as one of Europe’s top locations for technology.
To sustain the success of Scotland’s SMEs, it’s crucial that they can get hold of small business financing when they need it.

Am I eligible for business loans in Scotland?
If you're looking to apply for a business loan in Scotland, you might be eligible to borrow up to £250,000 with Fleximize. Here are the key criteria:
- Business Type: You must be a limited company or an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). For sole traders or non-limited partnerships with fewer than four partners, the minimum loan amount is £25,000.
- Location: Your business should be based in the UK.
