record of raising finance for companies.

capital and grant with other organisations that prefer
to position themselves as gap funders providing finance
where others will not.
Equity finance - aim can
introduce aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned businesses

Private funding - through its own network of high net worth individuals, aim can
often introduce clients to private investors.

an enviable track record of success in obtaining grants
of all kinds within this complicated and broad sector

make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful
application to a bank or fund. aim adds value to the process by ensuring that each application
is of the highest possible standard before making applications
for SFLG loans and other products.
