  • Hi Iain, Only just seeing your post, having not logged on to ABN for some time .. this was definitely a case of 'you snooze you lose'. I was aware of the funding, thanks to business gateway advisor, but it was snapped up very quickly.

    What your post does also do though is remind me to look at ABN site more often so thank you!
