Creative UK has partnered with Tridos Bank to offer loans of £100,000 to £1m to help businesses grow, via the Creative Growth Finance fund.

The fund aims to provide vital scale-up finance to a portfolio comprising some of the UK’s most promising creative businesses. Finance will be directed to post-revenue creative businesses presenting promising growth potential and who:

• bring change, disruption and new IP to the creative industries
• harness creativity with technologies and supporting businesses
• are talent led

Fashion, crafts, design and heritage have all been identified as creative sectors suitable for investment through the fund. The debt fund is targeted at companies looking to scale-up and grow and is therefore not suitable for pre-revenue start-ups.

To be considered for a Creative Growth Finance Loan your company must:

• be registered in the United Kingdom
• operate within the creative industries
• have minimum annual revenues of £300,000
• have at least one year of accounts filed at Companies House
