New Funding Announced

We are pleased to announce that we have recently secured funding through Birmingham City Council, AWM and the European Regional Development Fund to enable us to continue offering loans to those that cannot obtain all or part of their finance through the banks.

The funding secured will enable Arrow to lend just over £600,000 to assist small businesses to start-up and grow in the region. This will enable Arrow to continue to build upon our work of the last 15 years and maintain our commitment to support the small businesses in the region.

New Name, New Look, New Website

January 2009 heralds a new name and new look for Arrow.

We’ve decided to rename ourselves Arrow Small Business Finance (formerly The Arrow Fund) to portray a more business like approach and to reflect what we do more accurately.

At the same time we’re launching our brand new website at www.arrowsbf.co.uk!

We've chosen to keep it clean and simple to use - there are special "touch points" which lead users straight to the information that's most relevant to them; you can apply online for a loan and read about how Arrow SBF has helped over 300 businesses by lending them more than £1.5 million when other lenders would not help.

So, if you are looking to start a business, especially in those areas of Birmingham & Solihull that are deemed disadvantaged, and you are having difficulty in raising ALL the finance required then please call us on 0121 607 0129

Notes:

Arrow – Small Business Finance operates on a not for profit basis and is funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Advantage West Midlands and Birmingham City Council and supported by Lloyds TSB and Birmingham Chamber Of Commerce & Industry.
