Dorset Growth Hub - how can we help with access to finance?
Nick GregoryInvestment SpecialistDorset 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
![Page 94: Finance in Dorset 2017 - First Session](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58cf20901a28abc05f8b5ee9/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
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
