The British Business Bank brings expertise and Government money to the smaller business finance markets. Understanding markets and smaller businesses’ finance needs allows them to design programmes to make finance markets work better, and investing alongside private sector investors maximises their impact and allows them to reach the full range of finance providers such as banks, leasing companies, venture capital funds and web-based platforms.

British Business Bank uses funds to unlock finance for thousands of smaller UK businesses. Its goal is to change the structure of finance markets for smaller businesses, so these markets work more effectively and dynamically. This will help businesses prosper and build economic activity in the UK.
