Awards Dinner Sponsors: The City of London Corporation
The City of London Corporation is delighted to sponsor the British Business Angels Association awards dinner and take part in this celebration of success in angel and early stage investing.
Working with partners, the City of London Corporation supports the growth of local business. For example, the City Corporation is a founding partner of Innovation Warehouse, a pioneering business incubation and start-up mentoring facility. Innovation Warehouse will help encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs and perhaps provide future angel investment opportunities.
In addition, since 1999 the City Corporation has invested around £9m in a range of small business loan funds as part of its efforts to improve finance to SMEs, and produces research to support the competitiveness of UK business.
Supporting business growth is at the heart of what the City Corporation is all about. The City Corporation is a uniquely diverse organisation with three main aims: to support and promote the City as the world leader in international finance and business services; to provide high quality local services and policing for the Square Mile; and to provide valued services to London and the nation as a whole.
