What we do
We help investees to get investment, get connected and be accelerated into the future their organisation wants to create.
We also help investors to meet their goals by joining our Funds, which we use to channel investment into regional impact opportunities.
We invest: Our funds
Get the investment you need to make the impact you want. Our funds invest in business sectors and assets that can show a growing social or environmental impact in our region. BBRC will review your application for investment, discuss it with you and direct you to the most appropriate fund, including sometimes with a co-investor.
