Regulation
Loans are strictly for 21s and over. Loans for business use only. Finance is subject to status. Terms and conditions apply.
UKStartups is committed to maintaining full compliance with lending laws, and the company takes proactive steps on that. Some aspects of our direct non-deposit taking lending business may require some regulation (even as there are no rate-capping laws in the UK). UKStartups will satisfy all regulated areas of our business as and when they are added.
UKStartups does not accept deposits and will not accept deposits in the near or foreseeable future. UKStartups is not providing a regulated service to you, so you will not have access to the Fcinancial Conduct Authority (FCA) redress if you wish to complain about our service. UKStartups.co is not authorised or regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) or the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). UKStartups.co and its partner entities are not banking institutions and do not operate as such.

Future Regulation
The option of being regulated in the near future is to have access to certain vital national databases integral to our business model, operative model and strategic customer acquisition model, and NOT a step to take or mobilise deposits.
