Funding between £500,000 and £2 million

The Scottish Venture Fund (SVF) invests £500,000 to £2 million, alongside private sector partners, in company finance deals of between £2 million and £10 million. The SVF will typically invest through equity instruments but also through mezzanine or debt instruments, provided that the commercial terms are on a matching basis with its private sector partner. When deciding whether to invest, we will carry out detailed due diligence.

Key rules and eligibility criteria 

The SVF is managed by the Scottish Investment Bank (SIB) and is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
