Things we could not confirm

  • The page lists many sectors, but does not say the fund is limited to them; treated as open to all sectors.
  • Business size limits are not given beyond 'smaller businesses'; check with the fund manager.
  • The fund is delivered by the British Business Bank, so its own rules may apply.
