UK Music are looking for established music businesses in the North East who have approached banks for business finance

May 8, 2010 /

Here’s a message from our friends at generator. This is aimed at those operating in the North East but it raises some interesting points that may be useful to you wherever you are based.

“Our friends at UK Music are looking for established music businesses in the North East who have approached banks for business finance. ?Experience from across the industry suggests that this is hard to obtain and UK Music would like to make a case to the Government on behalf of the industry to request additional support in dealing with banks.

If you have been successful in obtaining finance for your business from the banks, UK Music would still like to hear from you as they would like to present a number of case studies.

Please read the letter below and forward your responses to info at ukmusic.org with your name, business and telephone number.”

Thank you.
