The British Business Bank will be celebrating the launch of the new £200m South West Investment Fund (SWIF) with a series of regional roadshow events across the South West.

The South West Investment Fund will offer a range of commercial finance options with smaller loans from £25k to £100k, debt finance from £100k to £2m and equity investment up to £5m. The new fund will cover the entire South West region including Bristol, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Aimed at business advisers, accountants, bankers, lawyers, the wider small business support community and public sector representatives interested in helping to boost the South West's small business population, these events will help you to understand the different funding options available through SWIF and will be an opportunity for you to meet the fund managers and the British Business Bank's Nations and Regions Investment Funds team.
