Choose a starting point

• Testing an idea or prototype: Find the right support and explore incubators that may offer guidance or access to appropriate programmes.
• Starting or operating a small business: Compare schemes, loans and subsidies in the support directory. Check repayment, contribution and eligibility before applying.
• Growing a business: Understand private investment and angel funding, including dilution and investor expectations, alongside repayable credit.
• Managing pressure or a pause: Use the cash guide to review commitments; speak early with lenders and a qualified adviser before taking on further debt.
