Lancashire is an economic powerhouse, brimming with innovative talent, world-class companies, ambitious start-ups, and dynamic entrepreneurs.

For 40 years, Rosebud has played a central role in supporting this thriving business community; responding to economic challenges and maximising new opportunities to help drive growth.

Today is no different, and Rosebud continues to provide financial backing, guidance and support to Lancashire businesses from a diverse range of sectors and industries. In the last five years alone, we have helped to create 1,164 new jobs across the County.

Further, in the last four years, over 60% of our loans have been made to returning Rosebud clients – which is a testament to the positive impact we have on the businesses we support.
