Debt. Equity. Grants. As a small business owner it can feel impossible to get visibility of all the funding solutions available. 68% of SMEs regularly cite access to finance as one of the main barriers to growth. Business Growth West Midlands has partnered with Swoop to help you to find, compare and select the right funding solution.
