Oaknorth on backing SMEs and disrupting business banking | Growth 500

City AM went to the Growth 500 awards, sponsored by Business Leader - the definitive celebration of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK, and the leaders behind them. Managing editor Rupert Hargreaves spoke to Oaknorth's director of business banking, Peter King, on the bank's scaling journey - while supporting UK firms as they scale too. With SMEs punching above their weight and boosting the economy, Peter discusses how Oaknorth can better understand the needs of small businesses as a founder-led bank. He touches on disrupting business banking, how businesses can more readily access capital at an early stage, and building ecosystems to bridge the gap between start up and scale up.
