Is going to a bank my best chance of getting a small business loan for my Belfast company?

If your Belfast company is in need of a small business loan, a bank may indeed offer the money you seek. However, it is not your only option. The government of Belfast recognises the long term benefits of helping with small business financial needs rather than letting collapse because such loan programmes help create jobs in the area. An entrepreneur getting a business underway in Belfast or investing in an existing business and in need of a small business loan may avoid going to a bank and find assistance elsewhere. For instance, an ideal method may be to approach the government by accessing the UKStartups.org’s funding research resources. To do so, call 020 3880 8554 freephone.
