The British Business Bank has relaunched its Growth Guarantee Scheme with the approval of 41 lenders to provide loans to thousands of small businesses over the next two years. Jeremy Hunt, the former chancellor, first confirmed the scheme’s continuation in his March budget.
The Growth Guarantee Scheme is designed to support access to finance for UK smaller businesses as they look to invest and grow and is expected to support around 11,000 smaller businesses between 1 July 2024 and 31 March 2026.
Reinald de Monchy, Managing Director, Guarantee and Wholesale Solutions, British Business Bank, said “We’re excited to launch the Growth Guarantee Scheme, which will allow lenders to offer more finance to their customers. This will help to generate more sustainable growth across the UK and provide a springboard to many smaller businesses to scale up or stay ahead.”
