My more recent experience has been to do with raising money through institutions on the London market, either through the Alternative Investment Market or through Plus which is a junior market, and very good for small businesses that need to raise anywhere between half a million and £2m. It’s a good way of getting access to funding, it’s relatively quick and more importantly, relatively cheap.

I think that here in the North East, we need to learn more about breaking the traditional rules when it comes to funding, and we’ve got to help businesses do that if we want to see them grow.
