Unlock Growth: What the New SME Strategy Means for Franchising

Franchisee funding is one of the biggest challenges in franchising today. If potential franchisees can’t secure finance, they can’t join your network. If your existing franchisees can’t access capital, their growth—and yours—stalls.

That’s why understanding the government’s new SME strategy, "Backing Your Business: Our Plan for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses", is vital. The strategy includes two major developments that could directly support franchise growth:

  • A long-term commitment to the British Business Bank’s Growth Guarantee Scheme
  • A £3 billion boost to the British Business Bank to increase small business lending

Join us for our next First Friday session to find out what this means for your franchise.

Friday 5th September
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Online via Zoom
Special guest: Phil Archer, DT Group

Whether you're a franchisor or franchisee, this session will give you key insights into unlocking funding opportunities for growth.
