The British Business Bank provides funds and guarantees to private sector partners, enabling them to finance a greater number of smaller businesses (either through debt or equity).

Additionally the Bank delivers a number of regional funds including Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund and Midlands Engine Investment Fund, and anticipates the launch of Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Fund in Spring 2018. These funds include a mixture of debt and equity funding.

The following tables shows figures for debt programmes for each FY since 2013/14:
