British Business Bank is the UK government's economic development bank, wholly owned by HM Government. Rather than lending directly to most firms, it works through private-sector partners, venture funds and regional investment programmes to improve access to finance for smaller businesses. Its activities span the Start Up Loans scheme, regional funds across the nations and regions, and long-term venture and growth capital through its commercial arm British Patient Capital. BBB Investment Services is its FCA-regulated subsidiary. The bank reports around £39bn of finance delivered to date and is headquartered in Sheffield, with an office in London.
