The North East Fund provides finance to start-up, small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) based in South Tyneside and across the region. To date the North East Fund has helped 15 South Tyneside based companies to raise £14.5 million and has also provided non-financial support relating to business plan preparation to over 90 businesses.

If you have a fantastic business idea but don’t know what funding is available, or how to present the idea in a structured plan, then drop-in to speak to External Engagement Officer for the North East Fund James Holloway.

James can explain how debt or equity funding from the North East Fund might work for you as well as how to pull in funding and support from other sources.
