Who are Enterprise Answers?
We believe it is important to fill the funding gap for those businesses and entrepreneurs who are unable to draw on the main sources of finance for one reason or another.
If no one is prepared to take a risk with those businesses who present a marginal proposition to banks or who may lack the security required, then we lose the potential and diversity that creative and talented individuals and businesses bring to the region.
Enterprise Answers is Cumbria’s only Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) and the only rural CDFI in the north of England. We are a sustainable, independent organisation providing financial services across the region with the aim of creating social improvement and business development returns.
We will support you.
