Birmingham City Council

Loans to Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) Programme

ART (Aston Reinvestment Trust) is an independent Community Development Finance Institution which provides loans of between £10,000 and £50,000 to:

  • entrepreneurs looking to create sustainable new businesses; and
  • existing businesses, including social enterprises, in Birmingham.

Potential applicant businesses should be seeking to commence trading or improve their competitiveness and show they have viable business plans but cannot secure all the finance they need from mainstream sources.

Loans will be targeted towards the most disadvantaged areas of Birmingham, but will not be exclusive to those specific areas.

For further information, please contact ART on 0121 359 2444 or by e-mail on art@reinvest.co.uk. Further information about the programme is available on the Aston Reinvestment Trust Website.
