British Business Bank launches £400m war chest to support Midlands firms
 
 
 
 
An investment fund which has supported more than 700 businesses and created over 4,000 jobs across the Midlands is launching another round of capital today.

The first round of the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF) was opened by the British Business Bank to much fanfare in 2017 since when the £300 million war chest has supported small companies across the west and east of the region.

Now, a second round is opening for applications, this time with £400 million earmarked by the government-owned bank to support young and growing companies across the Midlands.

MEIF II is split into three different sections, offering loans, debt finance and equity from £25,000 up to £5 million.
