How it works
  1. Go to the Contact Us page or telephone - 0116 2046620 for an application pack. You will need 2 to 4 Guarantors for the loan, dependent upon the amount requested.

  2. Once completed, return the application form together with your business plan

  3. An interview will then be arranged with a small group of Trustees to discuss your business idea. These take place in February, May, August and November. Applications are required at least 4 weeks prior to the interview dates.

  4. If successful you and your Guarantors will sign a joint and several bond

  5. The loan becomes repayable in full within 9 years with no interest charged
