Word from the risk-analysis team is that several new loan offers are due on site soon. Meanwhile, the current A-rated, three-year, 8 per cent fixed-rate offer is still available.

SCALE-UPS with a desire to innovate want better access to growth finance, as well as research and development funding, a study has found.

The Scale Up Institute’s annual report, released on Tuesday, suggested scale-ups are twice as likely to innovate as their peers but need finance and infrastructure to support their ambitions.

It said specific actions are required to remove local disparities and unlock further institutional investment.

In order to achieve this, the Scale Up Institute intends to work with the British Business Bank and other partners next year to launch an educational tool. It will also monitor outcomes from the Treasury’s recent “Financing Growth in Innovative Firms” consultation.

“Varieties of risk capital are key for scaling businesses and we must ensure the UK improves the reach and depth of these offerings,” the institute said.
