I truly appreciated our Investment Manager taking the time to meet us in person and understand our care model. The loan came at a crucial time, providing much-needed financial relief and allowing us to continue delivering essential care.

The loan has really helped me kick start the promotion of my work to a wider audience. The team at First Enterprise has been great to work with, being thorough in their approach and offering some very useful advice along the way.

My business needed extra funding for seasonal plans. Whilst I had started discussions with banks, I wasn’t getting the result we needed. Lenders like First Enterprise are much needed to support the backbone of UK businesses!

The funds have helped us achieve our dream of owning a small business serving fellow creatives. Our Investment Manager at First Enterprise made the daunting process easy to follow and kept us updated every step of the way.
