Finance and incentives

Finance & Incentives

UK-based businesses have access to a wide range of finance and incentives.

Equity finance is available from a number of key sources including The London Stock Exchange, venture capitalists and business angels – all regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).

The globally recognised UK banking industry offers a selection of commercial loans, mortgages and credit facilities.

Businesses can qualify for a range of grants and incentives through the European Union and UK government organisations.

Examples include Selective Finance for Investment (SFI) and Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) – designed to support overseas-owned companies expanding in certain areas of the UK.
