SYIF Profile Spring 2009 Newsletter

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the latest edition of Profile.

We thought the best way to mark the first newsletter of 2009 is by highlighting the many successes which are taking place across South Yorkshire.

That’s why this edition of Profile is packed with a number of features on companies who have benefited with support from South Yorkshire Investment Fund.

Some of the ones highlighted are businesses receiving their first funding package from us, while others are taking up the opportunity for further investment. Both of which are important to the continued regeneration of business growth in the region.

We were pleased that Yorkshire Forward began the New Year by making available further funding for South Yorkshire in the build-up to the regional Successor Fund in the autumn of 2009.

This will help plug the gap between current and future Funds to ensure business continues as usual and during these difficult economic times it is important that we help make the Fund available to as many businesses as possible.

SYIF is also pleased to pass on to businesses a further reduction in interest rates and more information about this is included in the article below.

Remember SYIF provide seedcorn, loan and equity linked investments, ranging from £15,000 to £2.5m, specifically to help small and medium businesses meet the gaps in funding they need for growth and development.

We do hope you enjoy reading this latest edition of Profile.

Regards

Tony Goulbourn
Chief Executive
