Arrow Case Studies

Arrow Client Feedback

Marie Butler at WOW Hair Extension said

"Arrow has been a fantastic help for my business when I really needed it. Running a business always needs financial input and Arrow were there to save the day when I needed to further advance and promote my business. Since using Arrow's services they have always kept in contact to tell me about events that will benefit me and just to generally see how I am. A big thank you to all at the Arrow team."

John Powell at Bizzness Print and Promotions said

"I have found Arrow's help really useful. From the initial set up of my business idea the support has been very good. I have had regular enquiries as to how my business is progressing and if I have any questions or problems Arrow has been very helpful in providing advice and guidance. I have had bulletins sent in the post with reference to advancing my business prospects, including items such as Breakfast Clubs and free advertising in the Arrow newsletter."

Arrow Associates Feedback

Steve Walker at ART said

"ART (Aston Reinvestment Trust) and Arrow have worked together in partnership for over 10 years supplying finance for businesses unable to obtain their full requirement from other sources. We are very happy with the partnership which works well as referrals between ourselves cover the full range of need up to £50,000 and Arrow target the smaller loans within that range."

Anthony Andrews at Business Link said

"Many small businesses in the West Midlands find it difficult to source the finance they need to grow and prosper, particularly those that are unable to obtain finance through high street banks. With the tightening of lending criteria too, the work of organisations like Arrow is more important than ever in supporting businesses that need to raise up to £7,500.

Here at Business Link, we're pleased to be working with Arrow and other Community Development Finance Initiatives through our Access to Funding programme. Of course, not everyone who applies to Arrow will get finance, but its goal is to support sound and sustainable businesses - a mission that dovetails perfectly with the goals of Business Link."

Khawar Hussain at Birmingham Chamber said

"As Enterprise Manager at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, we have a very close relationship with Alison and her team. Arrow is an integral part of business finance within the West Midlands. Arrow provides an efficient access to capital, which is particularly acute for potential start up and young businesses. They not only provide loans but work closely with the business to add value and help them grow. "
