First Steps Enterprise Fund
First Steps Enterprise Fund is a £300,000 pilot fund offering loan-grant packages to charities and social enterprises working in communities in the North West and South West of England.
Small community-led organisations can apply for up to £30,000 to help them grow their services and become more sustainable. The investments are the first steps towards accessing the wider social investment market and more financing options.
This fund is for community enterprises looking to take on their first loan to help the organisation move forward from start-up stage.
