Rethinking Subsidy: lessons from social investment on good growth
Policy and Advocacy Manager, Alex Bunker, looks at the lessons from social investment in using subsidy as a tool for delivering good growth

A fund from Resonance that invests in high impact social enterprises enabling them to access the growth investment they need. The fund offers flexible finance, including revenue share and equity products, to social enterprises across the UK. The fund operates through a partnership with Unity Trust Bank and the British Business Bank’s Growth Guarantee Scheme, enabling sustainable investment while maintaining a focus on high-impact enterprise models.
It uses funding from Flexible Finance for the Recovery to enable the provision of long-term, flexible investment products, particularly for organisations where financial returns are uncertain or lower than conventional investment thresholds.
