Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) Loans, Are They a Joke?
Is the Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) a sick practical Joke? I am looking for your views and comments.
According to new research Lending to SMEs under the government-backed Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) loan scheme has continued to plummet, with a further fall of 20% in the last quarter and 59% in the last year. The scheme lent a measly £149 million the second quarter of 2010.
No wonder the Bank of England is downgrading its forecast of GDP growth from 3.5% to 3% for the second half of 2011, if the banks don’t start lending again recovery will be fragile.
It’s clear that the EFG is political spin, on the one hand the banks are told to lend money to small and medium sized businesses, however, they are also told by another government body the Financial Services Authority they need to rebuild their balance sheets and be more prudent.
So is the EFG loan a big practical joke that only the chosen few will ever get accepted for?
If you have applied for an Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) Loan and either been successful or not I’d love to hear your story please feel to post your comments below.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

This weblog seems to get a good ammount of visitors. How do you promote it? It offers a nice unique twist on things. I guess having something useful or substantial to give info on is the most important factor.
