The Arrow Fund Ltd was launched in 1994. At that time it was amongst 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 those 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 .

If you are looking to start a business, especially in those areas of Birmingham that are deemed disadvantaged, and you are having difficulty in raising all thecommercial finance required then
please explore our site further.

‘Arrow – Small Business Finance' operates on a ‘not for profit' basis and is supported by Advantage West Midlands, Lloyds TSB and Birmingham Chamber of Commerce.
