New platform for businesses struggling to access funding

A business funding matching tool to revolutionise access to finance for businesses in the West Yorkshire region has been launched.

The Chamber Finance Finder will allow Chamber member businesses fast and simple access to all funding options across loans, equity and grants – simplifying, speeding up and streamlining the application process.

This is intended to help businesses which might be struggling to access the finance they need.

The British Chambers of Commerce network in the West and North Yorkshire region says it is working to provide access to both Government and non-Government funding options via a partnership with Swoop Funding, supported by the British Chambers of Commerce.

This new tool, powered by Swoop Funding, matches businesses with funding from over 1,000 providers.

Adam Marshall, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “Business communities are facing unprecedented challenges, and access to finance remains a pressing issue for so many firms.

“The Chamber Finance Finder will help companies the length and breadth of the UK find finance options that will help them restart, rebuild and renew their operations.

“We’re delighted to support the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce in launching this initiative.”
