Innovation Loans
Innovate UK (UKRI) · UK-wide
Opens in rounds through the year
Innovation loans
Loans for UK SMEs with late-stage R&D projects to commercialise, run in rounds through Innovate UK.
We surface what's out there; we don't give financial advice. Always confirm eligibility and the deadline on the funder's own page.
Who we list it for
We list this one for SMEs, across sectors rather than one industry. It is on the feed as UK-wide.
How much
We hold no figure for this one. Our note on it reads “Innovation loans”, which is a description rather than an amount — the size of an award is a question for Innovate UK (UKRI).
Deadlines and rounds
It runs in rounds and we hold no confirmed date for the next one — so "no deadline shown" here does not mean "open today". Innovate UK (UKRI) carries the current call. Our link for it points to apply-for-innovation-funding.service.gov.uk. We work out whether it's open from the dates we hold. Check the funder's own page before you apply.

What we hold is a listing, not the funder's rulebook. Innovate UK (UKRI) sets the actual eligibility tests — trading history, size, turnover, what the money may be spent on — and theirs is the version that counts.
