Coventry and Warwickshire Reinvestment Trust
Each year in the UK, more and more people start their own business. Some are natural-born entrepreneurs with a fantastic idea they turn into a successful new venture. Many want to earn more money or be their own boss. Some seek greater flexibility or a more favourable work-life balance. Many simply have no alternative, perhaps after losing their job. One of the first decisions youll have to make when starting up is how youre going to fund it. There are many options available; one of these options could be a loan from the Coventry and Warwickshire Reinvestment Trust (CWRT). We have been providing loans of last resort for 10 years to new and existing small businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire and if youre looking for finance to start up or expand your business but have been turned down by mainstream lenders, then CWRT may be able to help.

Have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help and guide both start up businesses and businesses that are struggling. So if you are thinking of starting a new business or have been running a business for a while, but not making the profits you were initially expecting or simply just want a fresh, independent review of your business, my company can help. Most of the customers i have worked with appreciate having a steady hand to guide them along and they describe me more as a business friend than a consultant, which is just how i prefer it to be as the business was set up to help and support small businesses and stop them making costly mistakes.
