Financing Small Businesses
Fredericks Foundation and HSBC Swindon hold funding advice evening
Small business owners and those interested in setting up for themselves received advice on sourcing start-up funding at HSBC in Canal Walk.
The bank have joined forces with the Fredericks Foundation charity in Wiltshire to help entrepreneurs start and grow their own businesses.
The Foundation provides a range of business support and micro-loan funding to those who have difficulties with securing business loans or investment via traditional means.
Start-ups they have helped finance in Swindon include Peter Fitchett, who founded waste disposal firm Absolute Rubbish in April 2010, which is now fast-expanding into other towns along the M4 corridor.
