Manufacturing Industries: Small Businesses
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps the Government is taking to improve access to finance for small manufacturers.
Answered by Sarah Jones
Our October 2024 call for evidence on access to finance for small advanced manufacturing firms sought views and evidence on the challenges faced in this area. Since that time, the Government has been considering how best to support more advanced manufacturing scale-ups to access the capital they need. Further details will be contained in the forthcoming Industrial Strategy and the Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan within it.
