How does the Fund Work? |
Three important elements:
The Scheme Rules
The Application Guidelines and Loan Application
The Loan Agreement
These elements operate together in a process:
All enquiries welcome – informal discussion to establish eligibility & decision made to proceed or not.
Formal application form completed, with supporting key documentation.
Applications considered in the round by the ‘decision panel’.
Initial discussions are key to the process:
Matching: project/business needs & Fund criteria.
Support: key information requirements.
Checking: coherent, clear business strategies are in place.
Integration: with other providers of support eg. CASE, Highland Opportunity, SE etc.
