We dedicate ourselves to understanding what the Creative Industries need and when they need it. We work with regional and national partners to deliver programmes which enable entrepreneurs and creative businesses to grow and achieve their goals.

We provide expert resources and financial opportunities that are tailor made for the Creative Industries, offering bespoke investments, access to funding, loans, and growth mentoring. To date we have invested over £18 million in creative businesses.
Creative Growth Finance

Our fund offers debt loans of up to £1 million to post-revenue businesses who bring change, disruption and new IP to the Creative Industries. By joining our portfolio, businesses will join a group of companies who, following our investment, have seen revenues grow by an average of 100% and who have raised total further investment of more than £18m*.
