Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II
Debt Finance – For Yorkshire and the Humber businesses
NPIF II – Mercia Debt Finance
From £100,000 to £2million
For businesses that can demonstrate growth potential
As businesses grow, larger amounts of finance may be needed to move them to the next level. Funding might be for hiring a new team, launching a new product or service, funding marketing costs or purchasing new machinery or equipment, not forgetting the working capital need that accompanies all of those plans and growth in general. Debt finance is designed for companies that can demonstrate growth potential.
Working with British Business Bank
Supported by Nations and Regions Investment Limited, a subsidiary of British Business Bank plc, the Bank is a development bank wholly owned by HM Government. Neither Nations and Regions Investment Limited nor British Business Bank plc are authorised or regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) or the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
