There are ways and means to achieving that next step in your business growth that may be slowed down because of a shortage of investment funding. There are companies out there that will invest and assist with short term funding, backed by the government backed british business bank through the growth guarantee scheme. This backing can take different forms but essentially it is a means of supporting small and medium sized businesses to obtain the financial funding they need to reach out and go for the next goal. The schemes are tailored to a business’s needs and can offer additional benefits by improving cash flow; allowing a company to launch a new product line; or to invest in new equipment – some of these costs can be enormous and that extra push will make all the difference. It can sometimes be used to refinance existing business debts to ensure a more stable and manageable pay back. The funding of marketing campaigns can be the subject for needing an injection of funds from a government backed scheme. The amounts available can vary from between £10K to £750K over terms of up to six years with a fair and reasonable interest rate. They may attract a one off completion fee and care should be taken to ensure a full inspection of the terms and conditions make it the right product for the company.
