British Business Bank celebrates 10 years supporting SMEs during Business Finance Week

This year’s Business Finance Week 2024 sees the British Business Bank marking a decade of supporting access to finance for smaller businesses across the UK.

Held from 26 September–3 October, with a host of free nationwide and regional in-person events, webinars and more, Business Finance Week helps smaller businesses learn about the different finance options available to help them start up and grow.

Whether established or looking to grow, finding independent and impartial information around business finance options can be complex and challenging for smaller businesses.

This year’s Business Finance Week focuses on three main themes:

• How to start a business – the first step is always the hardest, but many founders aren’t aware of the financial help that they can access to help them succeed.
• Innovation – building the businesses of tomorrow by ensuring innovative businesses can access the right capital to start and scale.

• Working capital – Working capital products can be powerful tools for smaller businesses looking to realise their full potential.

Businesses and their intermediaries, including accountants, lawyers and advisers, can sign up to attend any of the upcoming events for Business Finance Week here.
