Arrow Small Business Finance


Join Chamber Start Up here to access these savings

The Arrow Fund Ltd was launched in 1994. At that time it was among the first initiatives to provide finance for businesses to start up or grow in Birmingham's most disadvantaged communities.
With that target in mind, the name Arrow seemed appropriate.

All businesses that have received Arrow loans have previously been refused bank finance.

We work closely with Lloyds TSB to ensure that enterprising people are not excluded from raising finance for business. The unique benefit of Arrow as a loan guarantee scheme is in providing an introduction for small businesses to mainstream banking finance enabling them to access the full range of services on offer from a large financial organisation. Our aims are to create employment opportunities and encourage new business formation in Birmingham.
