Funding Innovation UK: A Business Strengthening Member Resource – Video

 

This video explains some of the grants and funding options in the UK designed to help smaller businesses grow!

For small businesses, accessing funding can be crucial in taking the next step toward growth. The good news is that there are plenty of funding opportunities available for businesses looking to innovate. The bad news is that the funding landscape is complex, with several options out there with varying degrees of accessibility.

In this video, we interview Sandy Findlay, Partnership Director at funding specialists ABGI, for a look at the UK’s complex funding environment. This resource will help get you started with maximising the benefit from existing schemes like R&D tax relief, accessing new services such as Patent Box, and accessing grant funding.
