Help may be at hand!

Growing your business through capital investment or starting a new venture can be a daunting and difficult task.

The rewards can be substantial but many businesses struggle to raise enough funding to be able to purchase the high value equipment that can dramatically improve its potential.

Bell has access to two facilities that may be able to help.

Give us a call, you really do have nothing to lose.

During 2004 and 2005 we have won grant assistance for over 20 companies, with two receiving amounts in excess of £200,000.

But potentially quite a lot to gain!

Grants

Many businesses around the UK are entitled to Grant Funding when investing in new equipment.

We have a very experienced in house grant specialist who can give you a fast accurate indication of whether or not your project is likely to qualify for grant assistance.

Bell will take you through all aspects of the grant claim from business plan to application completion to finally requesting payment.

We work on a no win no fee basis so that your claim is as important to you as it is to us.

Small Firms loan guarantee scheme

Do you have a viable business plan that requires equipment funding?

But your company is: -

• New start
• Recently formed
• Not strong enough to borrow  the amount required
• No deposit available
• Limited financial Information available
• No Security to offer

The Small Firms Loan Guarantee (SFLG) helps to overcome this by providing lenders with a government guarantee for a large proportion of the loan required.

The SFLG is a joint venture between the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and a number of participating lenders.  The main features and criteria of the scheme are:-

• A guarantee to the lender covering 75 per cent of the loan amount.
• The ability to guarantee loans of up to £250,000 and with terms of up to ten years.
• Availability to qualifying UK businesses with an annual turnover of up to £5.6million and which are up to five years old.
• Availability to businesses in most sectors and for most business purposes.

Bell can assist you in obtaining SFLG funding as part of a capital expenditure project, and even if you only have a bright idea we can even help with the production of a business plan to support your application.

Give us a Bell we may be able to make that opportunity become a reality quicker than you think!
