The Principal criteria we look for are:
|
| Concept: |
An excellent and original concept giving the business some in-built advantage
either through specialised knowledge or IPR, relationships or a niche service
with barriers to subsequent entrants. We do not invest where we cannot tell
which of a number of competing businesses in a new market is likely to succeed.
|
| People: |
A quality, creative and experienced management team who are self-motivated and
commercial.
|
| Business: |
We prefer businesses who service corporate customers or public sector bodies,
and operate in areas where we have some experience; in particular finance,
marketing, business services, property services, medical services and energy.
|
| Stage: |
Start-up, seed or first round finance. We will consider distress refinancing of
more mature businesses, or buyouts.
|
| Investment: |
We will only invest where, for an investment of less than £1
million, we can obtain more than 20% of the voting rights. |
If you are seeking capital for your business and you believe it fits our
criteria, please go to
