Want to grow? Need capital?

EV is one of the leading providers of venture capital and early stage finance to SMEs in England and Wales, and one of the few able to provide both equity and debt funding.

We invest at all stages of development, from pre-revenue & proof of concept, through to MBO/MBI opportunities and development and replacement capital.

We have a wide range of investment funds which we manage on behalf of our investor clients, from both the private and public sector. This variety sets EV apart; it means we are able to invest up to £2million in new or existing businesses across a wide variety of business sectors; from fuel cells to outdoor wear, software development to restaurants; service companies to fibre optics.

We understand the realities and tough day-to-day demands that you will face running your business. We will work closely with you to set challenging but realistic aims for your business, and will then work with you to help achieve them.

You may initially come to EV to gain access to the capital your business needs – we would be disappointed if you didn’t get a great deal more from working in partnership with us.
