Businesses get first start-up loans

The first businesses in Wiltshire to receive finance under a new initiative to support start-up and existing small enterprises in Wiltshire, are now benefiting from that help.
The first of the loans, targeted at businesses unable to access credit through the normal banking system, was awarded to Trowbridge-based Occasions for Balloons.
The scheme is being delivered by the Fredericks Foundation with financial backing and support from Wiltshire Council, GWE Business West Limited and The Wiltshire Assembly through the Action for Wiltshire programme. Action for Wiltshire was set up to tackle the effects of the recession and prepare for economic recovery.
