Yes, you can. However, you will need to save regularly for a minimum of 8 weeks before you can apply for a loan. After 8 weeks, you can apply for 3 times the amount you have saved or £500 on top, whichever figure is lower. For example, if you have saved £500, you can apply for £1000. If you have saved £100, you can apply for £300.
