Win up to £1,000!

By registering, you will receive details about our forthcoming Pitch2Win competition where your business idea could win you up to £1,000 thanks to the Sir Thomas White Loans Charity. The final of this competition will form part of our Enterprise awards ceremony on 29 June, 2022.

The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity has been in existence since 1542 and was founded by one of the city’s most generous (but least well known) benefactors, Sir Thomas White. Although he never actually set foot in Leicester, Sir Thomas is honoured by being included as one of the four statues around the Clock Tower in the Leicester city centre.

We are an equal opportunity organisation providing personal loans for new business ideas, businesses needing investment and for the study of postgraduate education. Eligible candidates may borrow up to £20,000 for busines purposes and up to £10,000 for postgraduate education purposes, to establish themselves in their chosen career. All loans are personal loans which are interest free for 9 years, repayable by equal instalments after 3 years, and are available to people aged over 18 and under 45.
