35 years of helping businesses access finance

2017 sees the Enterprise Trust in the Globe Centre celebrate it’s 35th anniversary in business giving local people and businesses support in planning their ideas to develop their business and writing proposals to attract investment.

By Jo Fulthorpe, start up loans manager and business adviser, Business Enterprise Trust.

In the last four years alone, we have successfully managed to secure over £4m of finance for new-start businesses through our programmes of support.

We can offer one-to-one support and business planning assistance through the national Start and Grow scheme to help clients secure outside investment, or even simply support their plans if they are looking to invest their own money into a venture.

We have a team of business advisers whose skills range from finance to marketing and product development and each of our team has over 15 years working with small businesses and Start Ups to help them develop their plans and secure the investment that they need.

The feedback we receive shows the time and effort we put into supporting our clients with their plans helps them have more success in business. Ultimately this is our ethos, not only to ensure that the client attracts the funding that they need but that they also get the quality business advice and support they deserve to make the right choices for them in business.”
