The online hub, backed by research into the way today’s aspiring business leaders access information in the digital age, has been designed to appeal SME business leaders with content, infographics, and videos as well as event listings to allow small businesses to expand their networks. The site also features case studies from businesses who have successfully accessed finance.
Keith Morgan, chief executive officer, British Business Bank, said: “There are bright and brilliant businesses all across the UK. But often, their growth ambitions aren’t realised because the financial landscape is complex, daunting and misunderstood. We want to change that. We want to help businesses understand their finance options and through clear, practical tips put them in the best position to successfully access the right finance for their growth potential.”
The information hub has been designed, written and built by Engine Group’s customer engagement specialist, Partners Andrews Aldridge, working in conjunction with the British Business Bank’s communications and marketing team.
The BBB information hub will contain more than 80 pages of content, and was designed with 17 finance types and 12 editorial partners. The hub can be accessed at financeyourgrowth.co.uk.
