Coventry and Warwickshire Reinvestment Trust

One of the first decisions youll have to make when starting up is how youre going to fund it. There are many options available; one of these options could be a loan from the Coventry and Warwickshire Reinvestment Trust (CWRT). We have been providing loans of last resort for 10 years to new and existing small businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire and if youre looking for finance to start up or expand your business but have been turned down by mainstream lenders, then CWRT may be able to help.

Most of the customers i have worked with appreciate having a steady hand to guide them along and they describe me more as a business friend than a consultant, which is just how i prefer it to be as the business was set up to help and support small businesses and stop them making costly mistakes.
