Where can I get support?

Bradford Kickstart

The Kickstart Knowledgebase contains lots of information to help start-up businesses and growing enterprises to work out what funding they need and how to get it, including advice about how to forecast cash-flow, an introduction to VAT, and grants for developing new products.
However, members of Bradford Kickstart also have access to financial help via their business counsellor. This includes assistance building a compelling business plan that can be used to secure a loan from a bank. Loans for £500 up to £30,000 are available to Bradford Kickstart members who have a strong business proposition but who cannot borrow from the bank. There is an additional £30,000 available for equity investments where appropriate, and business counsellors are able to access other funds to top up this amount if required.
These loans can be used for many purposes - from start-up capital to get your business up and running, to marketing and promotional exercises, and property grants to adapt your business premises - or even find new ones if required.
Contact Bradford Kickstart on 0800 953 9503 (freephone), email: info@bradfordkickstart.com web: www.bradfordkickstart.com
