Location
We prefer to invest in UK domiciled businesses.
Sector
We are sector agnostic, supporting ambitious businesses across a range of the UK's most vibrant industries.
Future potential
We don't always expect businesses to be the finished article. We aim to add value in companies which have a clear, credible business strategy, capable of delivering growth in profit and earnings.
Our growth funding options
Growth Capital
Looking to scale up, expand into new markets, or launch a new product? We can help you achieve that goal. The Maven VCTs are active investors in high growth companies typically less than 10 years old, and can invest from £1 million to £6 million in a single transaction.
Private Equity
Looking to buy the business you run, sell part of your business, or pursue a buy and build strategy? Private Equity can be used to finance a wide range of transaction types and help an incumbent management team to acquire a stake in the business they manage.
Our Regional Funds
We manage a range of specialist funds that provide flexible debt or equity finance solutions for dynamic and growth focused small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the Midlands and the North of England.
