15 March 2013

BIS has published a document outlining SME access to finance schemes.

Creative England have invited UK Music to feed into the Government what is working and what isn’t in terms of access to finance from Government for the music industry as a whole. We all know that finance is a big issue and this is an opportunity to give some feedback. We understand that BIS will consider what can be tweaked in some of the products they are offering in light of the evidence that can be unearthed. Please could anyone who has experience fill in this survey. It will only take a few minutes.
