Barclay's focus on the UK's small business sector is showing no signs of slowing. Already they've committed funds to delivering startup workshops to help the business sector and now it seems like they want to hear more from you about what help you need to get on.
This corporate funding is pretty unusual in the UK, but in the USA it's commonplace. The reality is that the Treasury will be cutting back on most areas of public spending soon, and I'm sure that support of the business and enterprise sector will also take a hit. So, Barclays funding has to be a good thing - and hopefully somewhere that other corporates will follow.
