Finance for young entrepreneurs
Start-Up loans are a government backed initiative aimed at helping young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18- 30 get started in business.
The scheme focuses on providing funding via a low interest start-up loan along with support and mentoring. If you are interested in a Start-Up loan but are over 30, email an expression of interest and the South West Investment Group will be in touch as soon as the age cap is lifted which is anticipated to be the end of Summer 2013.
