    Who we are

    First, we act as a signpost for businesses to direct them to sources of finance and support that are relevant to their needs and currently available in the region.

    Secondly, we are working to develop new sources of public investment funding that will become available to the region’s SMEs after the current programmes have come to an end. This money comes from the financial returns from previous regional investment programmes that will be re-used in new funds.
