How it works

A short enquiry. A clear next step.

The first form helps us understand what the business needs. It is not a finance application or an approval.

  1. 1

    Tell us the need

    Choose the amount and tell us what the business needs to fund.

  2. 2

    Add the essentials

    Add the basic business and contact details needed for an initial review. No documents are requested.

  3. 3

    Choose the next step

    If there may be a possible route, we explain the proposed introduction and ask for your permission before it happens.

Start with two questions

Official local evidence

What the local economy shows.

Dorset Council’s 2025–2040 strategy focuses on clean energy, innovation, Weymouth and Portland regeneration, market towns and tourism, and records capabilities in aquaculture, maritime automation and agri-tech. BCP Council separately identifies finance and fintech, advanced engineering including marine and aerospace, health and care, environmental technology, creative and digital activity, and hospitality and leisure as important clusters across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Geographic scope: The Dorset page covers the ceremonial county but distinguishes its two unitary areas. Dorset Council evidence applies to Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport and the wider Dorset Council area; Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole claims use BCP Council evidence and are not included in Dorset Council statistics.

Marine, agri-tech and clean energy in the Dorset Council area

The county strategy connects Dorset’s coast and rural economy with aquaculture, maritime automation, agri-tech, food production and potential clean-energy investment.

BCP’s urban and coastal clusters

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole have a separate economic base spanning financial services, engineering, marine and aerospace, creative and digital businesses, health, environmental technology and the visitor economy.

Market towns and regeneration

Weymouth and Portland regeneration, West Bay harbour investment and a proposed market-town approach show that Dorset’s commercial context varies materially between coastal, market-town, rural and BCP locations.

Examples from the Dorset economy

The purpose leads the conversation.

These examples show how different Dorset business needs may be described. They are not customer case studies, available products or approval indicators.

Plant and contracts

Machinery, commercial vehicles, materials and payroll for contractors taking on larger work.

Marine equipment

Fabrication machinery, boatyard handling equipment, workshop upgrades and specialist vehicles.

Hospitality refurbishment

Bedrooms, kitchens, leisure spaces, fixtures and working capital ahead of peak season.

Built around Dorset business

Funding across the local economy.
