The Government is aware of the challenges faced by ethnic minority businesses and is taking action to support them. The British Business Bank\u2019s Alone Together<\/em> report (2020) found access to finance is a major barrier for ethnic minority entrepreneurs. We are working with stakeholders to agree interventions to improve access to finance. Since its launch (2012) the Start Up Loans programme has issued around 20% of its loans to Black, Asian, and Ethnic-minority business.<\/p> <\/p> The Government are also delivering actions set out in the Inclusive Britain<\/em> report (2022), which aim to support ethnic minority entrepreneurs. Ministers regularly engage with ethnic minority business leaders and networks to better understand the issues facing them.<\/p>"}
