Fund Your Business

Securing capital investment and funding can be make or break for a new enterprise. TEDCO can help you to unlock a range of funding sources to scale up your business fast.

We have helped over 400 new businesses access £6 million in low cost business loans.

Start-up Loans are low-interest loans, which require applicants to provide a detailed business plan and outline when, where and how they intend to allocate funding.

Since the programme first began in 2013, we have seen hundreds of businesses go from strength to strength following receipt of a StartUp loan. Many of those businesses go on to receive invaluable additional exposure through our wider network.

“I applied for the maximum sum of £25,000 for my business, Seaweed & Co., in order to invest in equipment that would help to revolutionise our production process and, as a result, the scalability and quality of product we sell. TEDCO made applying for the Virgin Start-up Loan simple, straightforward and reassuring – thanks in large part to the advice and support I received from my business advisor”

Dr Craig Rose, Seaweed & Co.
