Small business loans offered when banks not an option

RISE Asset Development has teamed up with the London Small Business Centre to help individuals suffering from mental illness and addiction to become entrepreneurs through business loans.

RISE will be making the move from the Ivey Business School to a more central location with improved client access to funding and support.

“This is a fantastic opportunity,” said Steve Pellarin, director of the London Small Business Centre. “We are the only agency working at the interface between entrepreneurship and mental health.”
