Mae’r ffigurau diweddaraf gan y Start Up Loans Company (SULCO), cwmni sy’n gweithredu ledled Prydain, yn dangos ei fod wedi rhoi cymorth a benthyciadau i 1943 o fusnesau sydd ar gychwyn a busnesau newydd ers i’r gronfa gael ei sefydlu yng Nghymru ym mis Hydref 2013, gyda swm o oddeutu £8000 fesul cwmni yn cael ei fenthyca ar gyfartaledd.

Mae’r ffigurau’n golygu, dros y bedair mlynedd ddiwethaf, bod dau fusnes newydd y dydd o Gymru ar gyfartaledd wedi elwa o’r cyllid gan y Start Up Loan Company.

Wrth drafod y ffigurau diweddaraf, dywedodd Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd yr Economi:


> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i annog entrepreneuriaeth a busnesau newydd ledled Cymru. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn cydnabod mai yr un peth sy’n dal y rhan fwyaf o entrepreneuriaid yn ôl yw eu hanhawster i ddod o hyd i gyllid fforddiadwy a’r cymorth mentora cywir.
> 
> “Rydym yn falch o gefnogi y Start Up Loans Company sy’n cael ei ddarparu’n rhannol gan wasanaeth Busnes Cymru Llywodraeth Cymru.
> 
> “Ers y dechrau yn 2012 mae cronfa y Start Up Loans Company wedi cefnogi bron i 2000 o fusnesau newydd yng Nghymru ac mae’n galonogol iawn gweld llwyddiant parhaus cwmnïau fel yr arbenigwyr organig ar drin gwallt, Goji Hair yng Nghaerdydd, y cwmni gweithgareddau awyr agored, Waterfall Ways yng Nghastell\-nedd, a Bite Wales – the Little Cheese Shop yn Sir Ddinbych.
> 
> “Mae eu storïau yn dangos yr hyn y gellir ei gyflawni pan fydd awydd, uchelgais a gallu yn cyd\-fynd â’r cyllid a’r cymorth cywir.”

Meddai Joanna Hill, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol dros\-dro y Start Up Loans Company:


> “Mae busnesau newydd yn chwarae rhan hollbwysig wrth sbarduno twf yr economi, ac mae’n wych gweld cymaint o alw am gyllid yng Nghymru. Mae’r busnesau yr ydym wedi helpu eu lansio yn cynnwys sawl sector, ac yn dangos gallu ac amrywiaeth y gymuned sy’n dechrau busnesau yng Nghymru.
> 
> “Rydym wedi helpu i ariannu dros 2,000 o fusnesau newydd yng Nghymru ers dechrau’r cynllun ac mae wedi rhoi boddhad inni eu gweld yn datblygu i fod yn fusnesau llwyddiannus, proffidiol.  Trwy weithio mewn partneriaeth â gwasanaeth Busnes Cymru rydym yn rhagweld y bydd y momentwm hwn yn parhau, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at weld mwy o funsesau yn dechrau ac yn ffynnu ledled y wlad.”

Latest figures from the UK\-wide Start Up Loans Company (SULCO) show that since the fund was established in Wales in October 2013, it has provided support and loans to 1943 new and early stage Welsh businesses, with an average lending amount of around £8000 per company.

The figures mean that over the last 4 years an average of 2 new Welsh businesses a day have benefitted from funding from the Start Up Loan Company.

Speaking about the latest figures, Economy Secretary, Ken Skates said:


> “The Welsh Government is committed to encouraging entrepreneurship and start\-ups across Wales. However we recognise that the one thing holding most entrepreneurs back is their difficulty in accessing affordable finance and the right mentoring support.
> 
> “We are proud to support the UK Wide Start Up Loans Company which is partly delivered by the Welsh Government Business Wales service.
> 
> “Since its inception in 2012 the Start Up Loans Company fund has supported nearly 2000 start ups in Wales and it is really heartening to see the ongoing success of companies such as organic hair treatment specialists, Goji Hair in Cardiff, outdoor activity company, Waterfall Ways in Glynneath and Bite Wales – the Little Cheese Shop in Denbighshire.
> 
> “Their stories show just what can be achieved when drive, ambition and flair are coupled with the right finance and support.”

Joanna Hill, Interim CEO at The Start Up Loans Company, said:


> “Start\-ups play an instrumental role in driving the growth of the economy, and it’s great to see such a demand for funding in Wales. The businesses we have helped launch span a range of sectors, and demonstrate the flair and diversity of the start\-up community in Wales.
> 
> “We have helped fund over 2,000 start\-ups in Wales since the scheme’s inception and it has been rewarding watching them grow to become successful, profitable businesses. Working in partnership with the Business Wales service we anticipate this momentum to continue, and we look forward to seeing more businesses start\-up and thrive across the country.”
