Looking for funding?

We can help.

The good news is, there IS Government funding available for SMEs ('Small to Medium-sized Enterprises', i.e. businesses employing less than 250 people) in the North West as well as other areas of the UK.

The bad news is, the process can be complicated, confusing and historically, your chances of success are probably less than 40%.

The REALLY good news is, our Genuinely Helpful People can help you navigate the process and increase your chances of success significantly.

Through our partner company, The New Business Link Ltd, we have relationships with a number of agencies and organisations whose objective is to invest in UK businesses.

It  can be difficult to attract investment capital, venture capital, development funding, or even affordable loans into your business these days.

Many banks are unwilling to take risks on small and growing businesses and it can be hard to find funds to put your growth plans into action.

But there is help available. For example, The North West Fund is a government backed agency with a £185m investment fund for qualifying SMEs in the Northwest of England and we can help you apply.

Initial qualification criteria are:

• that you are an SME (as detailed above)
• that you require between £50,000 - £3,000,000*
• that you have been refused finance by your bank or another financial institution and
• that your business falls into one of the main eligible qualifying areas, such as Energy and Environmental, Digital & Creative, Biomedical or you require development or venture capital for a great business start-up idea.

Other sources of SME business funding exist for a variety of purposes, through Business Angels, Venture Capitalists, Small Business Loans and other targeted funds which start from as little as £1000. Larger organisations with growth plans may also be eligible for a range of financial initiatives currently available. The difficulty can be identifying these funds, as well as having the necessary skills to present your plans in a successful way.

Of course, we can't promise miracles, nor can we guarantee to turn sow's ears into silk purses (as they used to say in these parts). What we can promise is that, should your application be unsuccessful, we will be right there to help you in any other ways possible in order to try and achieve your goals.

If you are a growing business (or have a great idea) but need less than £50,000, don't worry, we can help you too!
