More than just finance

Rosebud aims to support the growth of Lancashire businesses and the local economy. We’re looking to support businesses who want to scale up and expand including the creation and upskilling of jobs.

Rosebud includes access to complimentary support and advice that's tailored to your needs to give your business the best chance of success.

You can access and tap into a vast array of services (subject to eligibility) through Boost Business Lancashire, Lancashire's business growth hub. A central point with connectivity to a range of invaluable programmes designed to stimulate and support business growth.

You'll get ongoing hands-on support from your designated Rosebud Account Manager throughout your business journey including half-yearly meetings to review your growth plans.

In the last 2-years, 42% of lending was to returning clients further demonstrating the longevity of relationships with our Rosebud team.

Get extra funding

A loan from Rosebud could be the stepping-stone you need to unlock further finance in the future.

The funding landscape has changed in recent years. Traditional lenders will often no longer invest on their own - they may want businesses to source other funding. This could be Rosebud.

At Rosebud we are driven to support businesses of all shapes and sizes across Lancashire and that’s why we’ll work with your existing banking partners or other finance lenders to help your business unlock capital.

Rosebud can help aspiring companies to develop technology and innovation, acquire plant and equipment and complete mergers and acquisitions. Finance is available as loans or a combination of equity and loans, known as mezzanine finance.
