Business Models & Access to Finance
Introduction
Business models refer to the ways in which businesses organise themselves to provide value to customers and generate revenue. Creative businesses and workers generate income through an array of business models. Many of these models may be new and a company’s business model also has implications for its ability to access funding. Changes to the model are thus of vital importance; for this reason the Creative PEC has aimed to better understand the drivers of change for creative business models and how creative companies access finance.
Creative PEC research in this theme looks at how creative businesses are changing the way they operate, reaching new markets and accessing different types of funding.
