Ulster Bank today announced that it has a dedicated £1billion available for business in Ireland in 2014.  Building on Ulster Bank’s existing supports for businesses of all sizes, this is available to both new and existing Ulster Bank customers and is open to all businesses who are seeking finance to support their growth plans in 2014.

There is evidence of business confidence growing, demand is increasing and we are seeing more businesses come to us to discuss their 2014 plans. We are delighted to be actively supporting businesses in all sectors and all sizes from micro enterprises to multinationals.

Terry Robb, Head of Business Banking for Ulster Bank in the Ballymena area said: “In 2014 we are delighted to have £1billion available to help Irish business as the real drivers of growth, employment and confidence in our economy. We know that many of our business customers view 2014 as a key year in terms of implementing growth plans, from introducing new products and services to expansion overseas and hiring additional employees.  Access to funding is essential to ensuring they are able to fulfill these ambitions.”

In addition to the £1billion available for business, Ulster Bank will host a series of support and networking events “Ahead for Business”, to help companies in planning for 2014 and beyond.  The event in Ballymena is being held on Thursday 20th February in the Adair Arms Hotel and further details about how to register will follow.
