Welcome to Finance & business

We are an investment and enterprise development company working within the regional economic development agenda.

The Finance & business programme is delivered by Finance Tree Ltd. We aim to help you understand how business finance works, how to source and secure funding for growth and learn about what potential investors are really looking for from you. Finance & business offers support and help to small and medium sized companies (SMEs) from any sector in the North East of England.

Your route to investment.
