This paper investigates the extent to which the supply of collateral affects business formation in the UK. Bank loans are typically secured on the entrepreneur's house. Using a variety of data and formulations, evidence is found that a 10% rise in the value of unreleased net housing equity increases the number of new VAT registrations by some 5%. Since we find that businesses formed in response to increases in the value of housing assets seem to be of at least average quality as measured by survival chances, there appears to be a large pool of untapped entrepreneurial talent
