In the runup to Small Business Saturday last week, a new Disability Finance Code was launched.
Research indicates that if opportunities were improved for disabled founders, it could unlock an additional £230 billion for the UK economy in growth and jobs.
Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and NatWest have all signed up to this new scheme that is designed to help more disabled entrepreneurs get access to finance and support to start their own business.
Joseph Williams, CEO and co-founder of small business Clu said: “When disabled entrepreneurs are given equal access to finance, society gains in ways that go far beyond individual success. Inclusive entrepreneurship drives innovation, creates diverse workplaces, and encourages economic growth that benefits everyone.”
