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.

The Lifetime ISA is intended to support younger people saving for their first home or for later life by offering a generous government bonus on up to £4,000 of savings each year. These funds, including the government bonus, can be used to purchase a first home up to the value of £450,000.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has no current plans to increase either the £4,000 Lifetime ISA subscription limit or the £450,000 property price cap.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government considers that the £450,000 price cap is suitable to support most first-time buyers across the UK, who typically purchase less expensive properties than other buyers, while ensuring sustainable public finances.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Office for Budget Responsibility forecast that bonus payments will have an exchequer cost of over £3 billion between 2021 and 2027. The propertys price cap ensures that this significant investment of public money is more precisely targeted towards households that may find it more difficult to get onto the property ladder.<\/p>
