Anyone starting up or trying to grow a business needs to find extra cash.  This section shows where to go to get funding and how to work out the amount you need.

To obtain funding from investors or lenders you will need a convincing business plan.  Speak to a business advisor, at one of the agencies shown on the right, for an independent view of your plan before you take it to a funder.

BEDF, CEED, the Prince's Trust and ABCF offer business loans at competitive rates.  See the agency links, on the right, for more details of these services.
