The Chamber has helped launch a new funding stream which will support fledgling businesses on the Fylde coast.
Business Funding Blackpool – Funding the Fylde Coast, was encouraged to set up on the Fylde Coast by Business in the Community’s Blackpool Pride of Place Partnership – a Chamber member, with the support of one of its board members, Lloyds Banking Group.
The initial £3million initiative will make it more attractive for people to bring their business ideas to the town, with start-ups and scale-ups now having better access to finance.
Business Finance North West supports small businesses, entrepreneurs, and social enterprises to access the funding they need to start, grow, and create jobs. The community loans will support local firms that have been overlooked when trying to access money and funding.
