New and growing businesses are always looking for ways to generate a better business model and more importantly funding to enable this all important growth.
We are always being asked about funding streams available to businesses, so we thought we would take a look around and try and supply information on the various initiatives available to businesses in and around the Yorkshire region, so here goes:
Finance Yorkshire
- Provides loan and equity linked investments ranging from £15,000 to £2m to help SME businesses in the need for growth and development
