British Business Bank

About

At British Business Bank, we believe that small businesses are the backbone of the UK's economy, and we are dedicated to helping them start, scale, and stay in the UK. As the nation's economic development bank, we are wholly owned by HM Government but operationally independent, allowing us to focus on our mission of driving economic growth through improved access to finance for smaller businesses. We design, deliver, and manage a range of financial products through over 200 delivery partners, working to increase both the supply and diversity of finance available to smaller businesses. Our Banking business encourages lending through Start Up Loans for new entrepreneurs and government-backed guarantees that reduce risk for finance providers. Through our Investment business, we attract private capital into venture and growth markets, helping innovative companies expand while providing strong returns for UK taxpayers. We also provide extensive resources and toolkits offering business guidance to help smaller businesses understand their finance options and be better prepared to access the right funding. We empower smaller businesses to work closely with us as a catalyst for their success and the UK's future prosperity. Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and focused on making a tangible difference in communities across the entire UK. We operate with a focus on sustainability, ensuring our investments, partnerships, and advocacy contribute to a better future for all.
