The British Business Bank will once again be working alongside several partners throughout the UK to host Business Finance Week 2024 from 24 September to 3 October.

Through a series of in-person events, webinars and more across the UK’s nations and regions, Business Finance Week is here to help smaller businesses, as well as the organisations and people that support them, to understand the different finance options available to support their individual business needs.

Whether an established business or looking to grow, finding information and guidance around finance can be complex and challenging for smaller businesses. This year, there are themes so smaller businesses can easily find the events which are most relevant and of interest to them, either in their local region or virtually across the whole of the UK.

Starting your business

Taking your first step: Starting your business with finance

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. From business loans and grants to angel investment and pre-seed funding, there’s a whole ecosystem of support available but choosing the right product can be a challenge. Listen to leading experts on how to access finance and find the right product to make your business dreams a reality.
