Ex-ante Evaluation of New Financial Instruments for SMEs, mid-caps and organisations from the cultural and creative sectors report looks at the specific challenges that cultural and creative sectors face in funding new activities and enabling growth; these constraints are linked to market failures at local, pan-European and global levels. This study addresses funding gaps and barriers persisting across Europe, both for loan and equity finance, and recommends that these can be overcome via a mix of financial instruments and technical assistance.
