The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) has expanded its Business Toolkit for members with the addition of a new guide, Funding for Business.
The resource is designed to help pet businesses navigate the range of finance options available, from traditional loans and grants to alternative funding routes.
It provides comparisons, highlights advantages and drawbacks, and offers guidance to support informed decision-making.
The new guide sits alongside other tools in the PIF Business Toolkit, which already includes advice on finance, business planning, pricing calculators and pricing models.
The news comes after PIF announced its partnership with the National Business Register (NBR) to help pet businesses safeguard their brand identity and prevent unauthorised use of their trading name.
Registering a business name with NBR provides essential protection against ‘passing off’ – a legal issue that arises when another business attempts to trade under a similar or identical name, potentially misleading customers.
As part of the registration process, NBR conducts a comprehensive search to ensure the name is available and can be legally protected.
PIF said: “Accessing finance remains one of the biggest challenges for businesses in the sector and that the resource aims to make it easier for members to identify the right approach to support their growth.”
