Transmit Startups says a surge in demand for finance from lockdown entrepreneurs means it has now supported thousands of members of the UK’s business community with £100million-worth of funding.  Transmit, which is the UK’s leading provider of Start Up Loans for business, has invested in 8,578 new entrepreneurs across the length and breadth of the UK since being set up in 2013. Businesses backed range from valet-style bike parking to vegan handbags, and everything imaginable in between.
