Hi all,

In need of some help if you can, my wife and I got some amazing help on Tuesday from the forum and hopefully will again.

My wife is trying to set up a shop/new business and is looking for funding, we dont need a lot.

We have asked business link who have linked us to a few government bodies but they all say we aren't in the catchement area.

Does anyone know any UK funders or business finances that we dont know of.

Thanks in advance for your help again

Tristan and Emma

  • The absolute dream result for you is if your old school or university or something has a funding programme for alumni. My old school does and they fund businesses without interest on the repayments!!! So seriously worth finding out, and they will give you advice too. Good luck with it, entrepreneurship is the way out of the recession!

    Could you give us an idea of the amount please as when you are talking about businesses not a lot may mean £500 or £50,000 depending on who you talk to.
