Success Story

| Sector | Online Retail |
| Programme | Start Up Loans |
Nirmla Warwood took out a loan of £25,000 in 2020 to set-up and operate interior accessories company Thatch & Stone.
The success of her business has been down to getting funding support, understanding the products, marketing, a good team and long hours.
The application was dealt with by the same person from beginning to end with mentoring offered on completion. It’s very busy, but it’s also great fun. I would encourage anyone who’s thinking of setting up their own business and becoming their own boss to explore the possibilities the Start Up Loans scheme has to offer. The support you receive makes a real difference. Nirmla Warwood Founder, Thatch & Stone
