About Finance Yorkshire

Finance Yorkshire can provide seedcorn, loan and equity linked investments, ranging from £15,000 to £2million, specifically to help small and medium sized businesses meet the gaps in the market for the funding they need for growth and development.

Finance Yorkshire has been developed as a European JEREMIE*  initiative and is capitalised by grants from Yorkshire Forward’s Single Programme (£15m), European Regional Development Fund (£30m) and finance from the European Investment Bank (£45m).  (*JEREMIE stands for Joint European Resources for Micro to medium Enterprises)

Finance Yorkshire invests in businesses based or moving to areas within Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.

Funds Available

The Fund provides three main products, structured to back businesses through critical stages of growth:

• Seedcorn Finance
• Business Loans
• Equity Linked Investments

Almost all sectors are eligible (some restrictions apply) and we will look at capital expenditure, working capital, start-ups and expansions.

Finance Yorkshire often works alongside other finance providers such as banks, and other lenders and can help put together a finance package to meet your needs.
