Building the Pipeline for the Growth Fund

This report provides an assessment of the potential pipeline for the Growth Fund. We commissioned this research to inform outreach and support work for the fund, which we launched in May 2015.

The report identified the capabilities needed to be a Growth Fund social investor, mapped the potential providers landscape and identified gaps and potential partnership structures. 

It identified the opportunities available and the barriers and issues facing both potential loan providers and social enterprises and charities and developed recommendations to overcome these, which were incorporated into the programme’s design.
