They are usually focused on equity finance (i.e. raising capital in exchange for an ownership share), but local programmes in England have also covered debt finance (e.g. applying for bank loans). The WM Investment Readiness Programme will include both equity and debt finance which will support the growth and scale up plans of the WM SMEs. ## CPV classification Financial consultancy services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-03a490-2023-09-15T17:15:43+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-03a490-2023-09-15T17:15:43+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
