At First Enterprise – Enterprise Loans, we understand that accessing finance from traditional lenders can sometimes be difficult, which is why we provide business loans to small businesses, entrepreneurs and social enterprises unable to borrow from high street banks.
Government-backed and set up in 1989, we have a wealth of experience in how to raise finance to best support you and your business. Whether you're a new start-up or expanding company with ambitious growth plans, see how we can help you boost your business' finance with business loans up to £250,000.
We are a Responsible Finance Provider in the East Midlands and that is because we are committed to ensuring our clients can speak one-to-one with our friendly and experienced business advisers, access key business sector information and trends and, vitally, we provide competitive finance rates tailored to you.
