If you are a printer with a ‘strong original creative aspect’ to your business and want to grow that part your offering you could, possibly, be in for a nice surprise. I say ‘possibly’ because print falls into a rather grey area when it comes to the definition of those organisations eligible for a soon to be launched Creative Industry Finance package. Though we see ourselves as part and parcel of the creative industry, it seems others don’t necessarily. So the onus is on large-format print providers to put their individual cases. My intel is that those wanting to grow the ‘design’ part of their business for instance could qualify for financial assistance, so it’s worth a try.
