Job summary

The Business Finance Policy team�s objective is to support entrepreneurs to access the finance they need to grow their businesses. We deliver this by understanding the UK�s debt and equity finance markets, identifying finance gaps, and developing policies and programmes to address them.

We work closely with the British Business Bank, which delivers and manages the government�s access to finance programmes for smaller businesses.
