About the paper
Creative UK has published a provocation for a new investment framework: Creative Economy Capital. This paper offers a solution for the challenges identified in our landmark report, Unleashing Creativity: Fixing the finance gap in the creative industries. This framework is designed to better align commercial capital, social impact finance and philanthropic investment – ensuring that creative enterprises can access the right investment at the right time. Creative Economy Capital would channel investment into intermediaries, tailored to the distinct needs of creative organisations at various stages of growth, with public capital providing guarantees and first-loss investment to de-risk private contributions.
