Nations and Regions Investment Funds

The Nations and Regions Investment Funds aims to boost long-term growth in the regions by creating local opportunities for new and growing businesses in the UK.

For a sustainable and prosperous UK economy to continue to grow, businesses across the UK need to thrive. The British Business Bank wants to break down particular barriers to finance so that access to finance is a level playing field for all entrepreneurs – wherever they are, whatever their gender, whatever their ethnicity.

The purpose of the Nations and Regions Investment Funds is to drive sustainable economic growth by supporting innovation and creating local opportunity for new and growing businesses across the UK, whatever the economic conditions, with an inclusive approach to all eligible sectors.
