How will Theresa May’s plans to address the housing shortage impact on SMEs in certain sectors?

05/08/2018 14:03


With the Prime Minster vouching to tackle the housing shortage crisis in the UK by removing tens of billions of pounds of housing associations' debt in order to stimulate more building, we’re keen to offer support to the industries likely to be impacted, with SMEs loans & Residential Property Development Capital including 100% Development funding and GDV of up to £80 million.


Changes are set to be made to the National Planning Policy Framework, a set of legislation that lays our rules and best practice relating to planning, conservation and the rural economy. 


At present, the construction industry is going through a period of change, with new legislation likely to alter the planning process, as well as the fact that the recession from last year is continuing to be felt by firms. 


Thanks to a decline in housebuilding, the UK construction industry is continuing to contract. The lack of affordable housing in the UK is of course a social barrier to young people with dreams of getting on the property ladder and construction firms will need to tread carefully if they are going to facilitate growth, especially given the fact that the costs of exports is also rising.


The Prime Minister is planning to completely transform the way that green belt land is dealt with and is hoping to make it harder for developers that purchase land and wait for the value of it to increase before selling it on. 


We provide SMEs with vital funding through privately owned investment companies and we’re concerned that construction firms may be set to experience changes to their industry, especially given the fact that Mrs. May has recently spoken out about her disliking for the bonus structures that many construction firms employ. 


GIC Capital can offer SMEs and businesses operating in a plethora of different sectors access to expansion capital and funding to help them sustain themselves and also grow their offering. 

We aim to deliver much needed capital to start-ups and SMEs
