As Luton named top UK City for Start Ups, Metro Bank offers practical support

Funding, networking and mentoring are the keys steps to success and growth for any new business advises Metro Bank as the UK reports a 12% increase in new businesses in 2020 and Luton is named as the top UK city for start-ups.  (Based on a number of key factors including internet speeds, best rates of production, office prices and business survival rates according to a new study by Fasthosts).

The top 10 cities for successful start-ups have been named as

1   Luton

2   Reading

3   Nottingham

4   Edinburgh

5   Central London

6   Liverpool

7   Portsmouth

8   Coventry

9   Wolverhampton

10 Bristol

“New start-ups need access to finance and funding and we have two dedicated business managers who have the experience to help mentor businesses both new and old to grow and expand,” explains Hazel Simpson, local director for Metro Bank’s Luton store.  “We see a diverse array of businesses in Luton, many of which are in the service sector. We are also very popular with the town’s retail and hospitality business owners as our longer opening hours and drive through teller facility fit well with their hours of trade and requirement for counter services.

“Start-ups tend to be agile and need to move quickly – we can open bank accounts and print cards in store, helping entrepreneurs to get going immediately.  As they grow and become established, many Luton businesses need funding to purchase machinery and vehicles to enable them to expand and to take on new orders. Over the pandemic and recovery period we have helped lots of local businesses, for example supporting one of our customers to extend their food premises from take-away service to also provide a seated area for diners.”
