As a small healthy business but in need of a little refinancing to aid expansion I have closely followed all the news about the Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme. I have googled everyday to try & find updated news & searched in vain to find a successful applicant for the new scheme. Where are you?
Can somebody actually find a successful applicant? I am prepared to offer a reward!
Does anybody know of a business or individual who has successfully applied?

Quote from Mandy " The Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme has already unlocked millions of pounds in lending, and the banks participating in it say that demand has been five times higher than for the previous small firms loan guarantee scheme"
Can anyone tell me who has Successfully applied?

Well it seems so far no-one has been even close to getting help. It's worth looking at this thread on the FSB forum.

This surely is Scandalous.

Quote of Kevo on FSB forums "Anyone listen GB trying to wriigle off the hook. The biggest laugh was when one of the panel at the so called grilling asked how many small business's they had helped with the new entreprise grant schemes. Thousands was the firm reply. OK Gordon name me one or two I'd like to know how they managed to arrange a meeting with their bank, then fill in the applications and provide all the required business plans and go through 3 levels of loan review panels in the space of 8 working days. Business Link and the banks did'nt get any details until 2nd February so its some kind of record"
