People come to us because we are the specialists in investing in small businesses and because of the value we add to the enterprises we work with.
We're the UK's most active investor in SMEs, and have been successfully backing businesses since 1982. This experience and expertise means we can arrange funding quickly and efficiently.
Our ten offices across the UK give national geographical coverage, so wherever you are, it's worth finding out how we can help you.
We manage funds in excess of £300 million. You'll have the reassurance that these funds are backed by The European Investment Fund, High Street Banks, large corporates, pension funds, private individuals, and public sector bodies and the European, UK Government and regional development agencies.
Our business development schemes — aimed specifically at manufacturing companies in the Yorkshire & The Humber region — are run in association with Yorkshire Forward and the BERR. So whether it's expanding a business or improving competitiveness, we have access to more than 100 vetted and quality assured industry organisations who are there to give companies the benefit of their expertise.
Business Gurus is our network of skilled and experienced senior managers and directors, who we introduce to client companies looking for non-executive directors, interim managers and full-time executives. The Business Gurus database is also used by our investment managers to source and place non-executive directors in companies they have supported and invested in.
