Our Service Offer

HBV has been advising people and businesses from its community base in Hackney for nearly 30 years. We offer enterprise education and support for micro and small firms (who may have profit or social aims) and work with start-ups as well as enterprises that are already trading.

Over the years we've helped start and grow thousands of businesses, supported, advised and trained tens of thousands of people, and helped businesses raise millions of pounds. We’re very proud of our positive impacts on worklessness, the economy and our community. Watch our video here.

Fund your Business
We advise everyone in buisness or going into business to raise at least some of the cash they need themselves before they seek finance. This is because they will be disadvantaged if they cannot show a potential lender that they are taking some of the risk themselves. All affordable lenders, HBV included, will expect you to take some risk personally.

We work mainly with existing business to help them raise the finance they need to grow. Many can't find all the funding they need to give their new or existing business the best chance of success. HBV Enterprise are real experts in helping viable enterprises to access finance. Click here for more on our popular Loan Fund and Finance Support services.
