Website supports region’s entrepreneurs

The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity have announced the launch of their new website to encourage the region’s young entrepreneurs and spread the word that interest free funding is still available to new and growing businesses. The charity’s new website has undergone an extensive redesign with Leicestershire based creative, branding and web design agency, Voice Brand Design, in order to attract more budding, young entrepreneurs. The new website provides information about the Sir Thomas White Loan Charity, including testimonials from a number of the diverse, successful businesses that have benefited from the charity’s support over the years. In addition, it clearly explains the process and criteria for applications to inform entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 35 years old, how their business could receive interest free funding. Hugh Stevenson, Chairman of the Sir Thomas White Loan Charity said: “It is a challenging time for businesses and I fear that there are many young entrepreneurs in the region with great ideas who are being put off starting their own business due to funding difficulties or lack of confidence. If you have a good idea, a well thought through business plan and the drive and commitment to take it forward – we can help.”
