A multi-million £ business ? No cash available from either partner for a mere £15,000 purchase ? You own a house valued at £35,000 when the average house in Co Durham costs £165k ? Really ?0

Aside from that, you'd need a business loan rather than a personal loan if you're wanting to use the money to buy equipment for your business.

Look I didn't post here for debate about whether this was real or not, I know it is, as have been friends with the manager for years. I am just after help to get money. This is the dam that we have secured a contract forI am talking about a developing company, which is overwhelmed with building opportunitiesThe local authroities are not insisting that we need a vehicle, the manager is, and I agree, car rental and petrol is £50 a day and its killing me.The approved status is something called PCABHappy now?

If you've got a secure contract and a valid business proposition, I fail to see how you can't get a small business loan.
