Access to Finance Programme is supported
by the London Development Agency
This Access to Finance programme is designed to support small businesses across all the 33 London Boroughs to raise business finance to either start-up or expand.

It provides business support to new start-ups or existing businesses on developing high quality business plans to improve the opportunity of raising finance; with continued support to approach banks or other lenders successfully.

The programme is for all clients looking to raise £10,000 or more. Clients will make a £200 contribution to this programme and in return will receive a minimum of 3 days of business support towards the development of the business plan.

All enquiries call ELSBC on 020 7377 8821 and we will refer you to a partner organisation based near you.

Loan Funding:
ELSBC can help you raise funding through our loan fund portfolio. These are available to new start-ups or existing businesses who are unable to raise all their finance through high-street banks or other lenders.
