Business Finance Week
Each year we join other UK organisations in supporting the Business Finance Week campaign from the British Business Bank, along with several partners from across the UK.
The Business Finance Week campaign aims to help smaller businesses learn about the different finance options available to them to support their individual needs and to grow. Running from September 24th – 3rd October, Business Finance Week 2024 will give SMEs the opportunity to hear from experts in their field on a varied range of subjects, and throughout the campaign, free resources and tips will also be shared on how business owners can utilise finance for their success.
