We combine £400 million of UK ERDF and European Investment Bank funding to help businesses in the region to scale-up and become a successful part of the government’s Northern Powerhouse vision.

We offer three different funding options designed to plug gaps in the provision of commercially available finance.

The three packages are:

  • For new or growing businesses to support working capital needs.

Debt Finance

  • Business loans
  • £100,000 – £750,000
  • For early stage or more established businesses that can demonstrate growth potential

Equity Finance

  • Early stage and later stage equity funding
  • £50,000 – £2 million
