Central Finance raises £30m for 600 SMEs

Central Finance are grant and SME business advisors who have seen huge growth in both their own business and the regional economy due to current grant, banking and alternative finance opportunities.

Alison Bradley, Managing Director at Central Finance, said:

“It’s been a record month and year for us here at Central Finance, raising £1 million in grants and finance in just under a month and raising £30 million in the past year.

“In 2012, we reported raising £30 million over two years, and I’m delighted to say we’ve achieved that in half the time, not only achieving and surpassing our own goals but supporting the local economy, creating hundreds of jobs and expanding our own business too.”

From the beginning of 2010, Central Finance has helped raise more than £100M for businesses based all over the UK and plans to continue help raising finance for more businesses to realise their potential in the current market.

Alison continued:

“There has never been a better time for small businesses to realise their business plans through growth and funding.

“Yes, finding the right grant, or loan for your business can be difficult – but our collective experience of banking, grants and alternative funding puts business owners in the right hands to getting the right finance for them.

“Our 100% track record on achieving grants for clients prove there are financial opportunities out there for small businesses to grow, they just need a little encouragement and support finding the right option.”

Matthew Cusack, Finance Director, Ardencom, commented:

 “I have been extremely impressed with how quickly and thoroughly Central Finance dealt with our application for an Innovation Grant. Their level of understanding of what finance opportunities are available was impressive and without their help, Ardencom would certainly not known about or achieved the funds required to realise our future goals.”
