Black In Business 2024
An initiative to elevate and grow Black Owned Businesses in the UK
Designed by Channel 4, we are a proud partner of this initiative, which rewards four businesses ready to scale through the power of TV advertising and mentorship. Each winner will receive £150,000 of TV advertising on Channel 4, the creation of their own TV advert, plus 6-months tailored marketing and business mentorship to help accelerate their growth.
Applications for the 2024 initiative have now closed. Watch this space for more updates in the coming months.
Choosing the right solution

All lending is subject to a satisfactory credit assessment and we will need your permission to carry out a credit check on you and your business.
You should not apply for an amount that you cannot comfortably afford to repay now and in the future to avoid the possibility of legal action.
All lending is subject to status. Security may be required.
Own a small charity or community enterprise?
You may be eligible to apply for funding via the Lloyds Bank foundation. Choose from a range of tailored programmes aimed at providing flexible, unrestricted funding to support and develop your business, in addition to gaining support beyond the lifetime of the grant.
