Deep Dive into…South West Investment Fund – Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, Devon, Dorset, Somerset (excl. N & NE Somerset)

Our first Deep Dive events of 2024 will look at one of the most exciting developments in regional funding for businesses – the £200m South West Investment Fund (SWIF). We will be joined for this event by representatives of British Buisness Bank and the SWIF Fund Managers; we will look to discuss with them the ins and outs of the SWIF including the who and how of making an approach to the fund. As the fund administration is split between two geographies, we are hosting two events on successive days to give business owners the opportunity to hear from the fund manager active in their area.

SWIF is a potential source of debt and equity funding for businesses based in or looking to be based in the South West of England. Demand for SWIF funding has exceeded expectations with over £2m of investments being made in first few months post launch last year.
