Who should apply
Businesses across Greater Manchester and Cheshire who are unable to raise the finance needed to either start up a new business or finance an existing business.
To apply you will need to be able to demonstrate a viable business plan, which shows that the business can both meet the loan repayment and create or protect jobs as a result of the finance.
You will also need to be able to show that you've tried unsuccessfully to obtain some or all of the finance you need from the traditional lenders.
