In addition RDAs have said they're fast tracking tourism promotion and rural regeneration. The temporary changes will be in place until the end of December 2001 and will then be subject to review. The SBS Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme guarantees loans from the banks and other financial institutions for small firms that have viable business proposals but who have tried and failed to get a conventional loan because of a lack of security. The commercial aspects of the loan are matters between the borrower and the lender. Many business activities are eligible but there are a number of exclusions.
Loans are available for most business purposes although there are some restrictions.
If you would like to make an application please do this direct to one of the lenders who are involved with the scheme.
