Since MAS has been shut down, it has left many companies wondering where they can get funding for their business from.
Recently we here at Assent have been looking into it in a bit more detail, see below for alternatives.
- There are government-backed support and finance for business, including: grants, finance and loans, business support e.g. mentoring, consultancy, funding for small and medium-sized businesses and start-ups. Find out more here: https://www.gov.uk/business-finance-support-finder
- The government will base funding on areas such as Number of Employees, Type of Business, and the Stage in which the business is in (Pre-start, Start-up, Grow and Sustain).
