Business loans

Hi, was wondering if anyone knew what the likelihood was of a stay at home mum getting a small business loan from a bank? My business plan is almost ready and I am about to approach banks for money. I'm worried that they are going to ask questions, of course, about income. I have factored loan repayments into the financial forecast. My husband is employed and we own our own home. However it's my business idea I will be managing it etc.
Has anyone successfully got a loan from the bank without being employed?

Thanks

www.startuploans.co.uk - check them out , they have many different companies that offer the loan under the startup loan scheme, this should help you get off the ground.

www.rockstargroup.com is a good one to approach , as they will guide in your business plan as well.

Im guessing you don't need a huge amount, but something inside £10k?

My advice is to always start as cost effective as possible and test out your idea before committing more. : )

Hope this helps.
