HBV Loan Funds

Need finance and / or advice for your business, social, community or voluntary enterprise? Is your business in of these London Boroughs? Barnet, Brent, Camden, City of London, Enfield, Haringey, Hackney, Harrow, Islington, Waltham Forest

If so, HBV may be able to assist you with funding. However, please note that we do not provide 100% finance - you must take some of the risk yourself. To begin, read HBV's frequently asked questions.

For general guidance on raising finance, see our Funding Guide and below.

Raising Finance

Help with raising finance comes from the "Understanding Finance for Business" service (formerly known as 'Access to Finance.')

All enterprises, whether for profit or social aims, need finance and/or working capital to start and grow.  Some need extra help and advice to raise all the funding they need. To achieve this, our specialist advisers also work with contacts in banks and other commercial finance providers.  We also have our own loan funds.

These HBV services have helped people like you raise over £10 million for their businesses over the years. Not every business idea can raise finance, however, so if we don't think your proposal will raise finance, we will tell you, and why.

To find out more click here, come to a HBV Funding Event or call in and see us at HBV Enterprise Centre.
