Supporting Brain in Hand to secure an Innovation Loan.

Innovate UK has revamped their Innovation Loan competition in 2026, but the core proposition remains the same.

Low interest, flexible loans with no personal guarantee for late stage R&D projects with a clear route to commercial success.

The competition now has an expression of interest stage that is a gateway to the full loan application of between £100k and £5m in funding.
