this loan meant that we could accelerate a new project 12 months ahead of schedule - in fact we may not have been able to do it at all without it.

this is a great opportunity from West Yorkshire Enterprise Agency and without their assistance we would not have been able to do many of the things we have managed to do. I would also like to add that their service and personal touch and flexibility has been a welcome and refreshing bonus.

the loan meant that I could get the equipment I needed to grow my business - wouldn’t have been able to move on without it.Jamie Sykes, JS Sports
Intermediary Information
As the challenging lending conditions look set to continue we are seeing a significant increase in the number of colleagues in our intermediary network reporting that people with serious business ideas and growth propositions are unable to access finance through the usual routes.
This clearly has implications for our local economy and in your context a potential slowing of the pipeline of new and growing business customers.
Our response has been to secure alternative finance for people looking to start or grow businesses with serious potential. We are looking to quickly grow a network of intermediaries with an awareness and commitment to alternative sources of finance and our offer to you is:
- The chance to provide potential added value to your customers
- Increased exposure of your services to both successful and unsuccessful applicants
- The opportunity to join the assessment panels who will judge each application
- The chance to join our referral network of intermediaries with whom we will be working closely as publicly funded business support winds down over the coming months
