Discover the different types of funding available for SMEs in this interactive workshop and find the best fit for your business.

Business loans are some of the most versatile financial products available to any business, with variations to suit all types of businesses, from start-ups to established enterprises.

With such a wide variety of tailored products it can be difficult to understand the key differences between each.

In this workshop we’ll focus on the most common types of loans: secured loans; unsecured loans; term debt; and revolving debt, explaining what they are, and why you might consider using them.

We’ll also highlight what lenders typically ask for and highlight how businesses can be best prepared before applying.

Delivered in partnership with the South West Investment Group, this workshop is fully funded for South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset sole traders and small business owners.
