  • Want support with business planning and with your loan application?

Haringey Council are ambitious about the future of our local economy. We want a good economy for Haringey which supports businesses to thrive and provides good work. An economy that promotes fairness and equality; supports business and enterprise resilience; contributes to environmental sustainability; and promotes positive health and well-being. We want to work with businesses that share the same goals and aspirations.

"The loan is the best way I’ve found of borrowing money. We’ve experienced things moving quite slowly through a conventional lender, and maybe they don’t quite understand the inner workings of a business, but Haringey Council was very receptive and flexible.”

Rob Burn, Producer/Director, Ten87 Studios
