You should not use the setImage for your button, just use -[UIButton setBackgroundImage: forState:]

Also you can try this one,

    UIButton *Button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
  [ Button setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [Button addTarget:self action:@selector(YourMethodName:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [sectionView addSubview:Button];
    view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Put your image as background image.

Use following code.

startLoginBtn = [[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(25, 303, 267, 40)]; 
[startLoginBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"SkipLogin.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; 
[startLoginBtn setTitle:@"Start Login" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; 
[startLoginBtn setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[startLoginBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(startLogin:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[startLoginBtn setEnabled:YES]; 
[self.view addSubview:startLoginBtn];
