Positive Inclusions was established in 2011 as a social enterprise. We work with young people from hard-to-reach communities to help them overcome barriers/challenges to adapt to mainstream society. We are key delivery partners of the government backed initiative, Start-up Loans. Positive Inclusions also works closely with communications agency and business consultancy Rich Visions.

The Start-up Loans programme provides business start-up loans to young entrepreneurs aged between 18-30. This government backed initiative gives applicants a chance to combat high youth unemployment themselves, by making starting a business a viable alternative.

 

By taking part, you can access a business start-up loan of up to £10,000 as well as pre-startup support and mentoring. One of the great things about this programme is that interest on your loan is fixed at a 6.2% APR for the duration of 5 years (the maximum period to pay back your loan). 

 

The mechanisms for delivering these goals rest in the pre-application support to entrepreneurs, affordable loans on clear terms, on-going mentoring and support, and access to useful product and service offers that would not usually available to new businesses.

 

Start-Up Loans place a high value on mentoring because it provides young entrepreneurs the expertise they need to succeed. It's not just about the money – our mentors are your secret weapon to launching your business!!

 

 

Lesly Dube, Project Manager at Positive Inclusions will be speaking at Youth Week on Tuesday 27th August about the Start-up Loans programme. He will be offering detailed information about the application process, advice on writing an excellent Business Plan, and the importance of submitting a Cash Flow forecast with your Start-up Loan application. Lesly works on the Applications Team and will be offering top tips on how to make your application successful, so have your pen and notepad ready!
