Local ScaleUp Programmes
The Development Bank of Wales was initially established as Finance Wales in 2001 by the Welsh Assembly Government. In October 2017, it was renamed and strengthened as a national financial institution with greater scope to provide commercial funding to businesses in Wales. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Welsh Government, providing Welsh businesses with capital to start up, strengthen and grow, and directing public funds to where they can have most impact. The Bank co-invests alongside other banks, VCs, angel investors, crowdfunding platforms and grant funders. It has a network of dedicated, local account managers. Referrals are made to Business Wales for business advice and support. Angels Invest Wales provides businesses access to more than 100 angel investors and syndicates through an online platform.
