without money?
3) Do you have a marketing strategy in place to
promote your campaign to investors?
4) Have you talked to your own network to
assess their willingness to invest?
5) Will you be able to create an awesome video

Dorset Growth Hub - how can we
help with access to finance?
Nick Gregory
Investment Specialist
Dorset Growth Hub
Bournemouth, 2nd March 2017
Recent developments
• The Growth Hub has been running now for 3 years
during which time we have engaged with upwards of
1300 businesses
• Arranged over 1million pounds in matched grant
funding which has led to the creation of over 200 jobs
• Very recently the Growth Hub has won a large ESIF
contract valued at £6,74 million to work with Partners
and deliver business support throughout the county
• We will launch officially on 10th and 11th May
• Growth Deal Dorset has won £19 million but is mostly
earmarked for infrastructure at this stage
Access to finance -
the issues
• Access to finance is acknowledged to be a barrier to
business growth and the existence of a “funding gap” is a
measure of the problem however estimates are so disparate
i.e. between hundreds of millions and 39 billion it is hard to
assess
• However a recent Nesta report estimated that 80%
businesses are happy with the current situation and are
happy non borrowers or to use Stuart Fraser’s research on
discouraged borrowers
• BEIS have set up an access to finance committee, which first
reported 25th October 2016
• The effect of Brexit will depend on various factors

  • 94. Access to finance - the issues • Access to finance is acknowledged to be a barrier to business growth and the existence of a “funding gap” is a measure of the problem however estimates are so disparate i.e. between hundreds of millions and 39 billion it is hard to assess • However a recent Nesta report estimated that 80% businesses are happy with the current situation and are happy non borrowers or to use Stuart Fraser’s research on discouraged borrowers • BEIS have set up an access to finance committee, which first reported 25th October 2016 • The effect of Brexit will depend on various factors
