The South East Investment Fund has been created to improve access to finance for small and growing businesses that may struggle to secure funding through traditional routes. The programme offers debt finance ranging from £25,000 to £2 million, alongside equity investments of up to £5 million for businesses with strong growth ambitions. Managed by specialist investment providers, the fund aims to stimulate economic development while supporting responsible business practices and the transition to net zero. Surrey businesses can also access free guidance and support through Business Surrey to help identify suitable funding opportunities and prepare applications.
