The Mayor of London’s development corporation for Old Oak and Park Royal, OPDC has today announced the launch of the Loans for Small Businesses (The Loan Fund).

Funded by OPDC and the Mayor of London through the Acton and Park Royal Creative Enterprise Zone, the Loan Fund will make affordable loan funding available to small businesses and workspace providers in the OPDC area.

The Loan Fund will make £350,000 available as part of the pilot phase to support new and existing Park Royal-based food manufacturing and creative businesses to expand their businesses, as well as supporting affordable workspace providers to expand their premises.

Through the Loan Fund, OPDC aims to support the creation of high quality, genuinely affordable workspaces and allow new and existing Park Royal businesses to grow and expand, helping to create more jobs and opportunities for local people in the area.
