Small Business Finance - what's out there?
One of the most common enquiries we receive at Business
Builder is about funding for businesses. Grants are still
available but few and far between and your location in the
UK and your business sector relates strongly to availability
and eligibility. A good place to start looking is on the Business Link
website using their *Business Support Finder* service. The Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) is a government loan
guarantee scheme intended to facilitate additional bank
lending to viable SMEs with insufficient or no security with
which to secure a normal commercial loan. It is available
till 2015.
