£6.5 million in loans for West Midlands SMEs

An extra £6.5 million of regional development agency-administered money will be made available for not-for-profit organisations lending to small and medium sized businesses in the West Midlands next year.

An extra £2 million has been added to Advantage West Midlands' Advantage Small Loan Programme. The programme, which provides loans to organisations such as not-for-profit business lenders, was due to end in December, but this is intended to allow it to continue to operate until at least June.

The remaining £4.5 million - half of which comes from the European Regional Development Fund, the other half from AWM - will be opened to applications in December. It is intended to provide not-for-profit business lenders with longer-term funding through to 2013.
