Scottish Venture Fund

Investment between £500,000 - £2 million

The Scottish Venture Fund (SVF) has been set up by Scottish Enterprise in conjunction with the Scottish Government to invest £500,000 to £2 million, along side private sector partners, in company finance deals of between £2 million and £10 million.

The process

• The private sector partner brings the investment opportunities to the Scottish Venture Fund.
• Based on commercial terms, the SVF may match the investment made by the private sector partner in each transaction up to a maximum of £2 million, either on its own or as part of an existing syndicate.
• Where additional funding is required, the SVF will then be able to utilise its partner network to distribute these opportunities to organisations that have funds to invest, and are looking for a supply of quality deals.
• The private sector partner will then select the most appropriate organisations to form the investment syndicate for that particular transaction.
• The private sector partner will structure the terms and conditions of the potential deal and lead the transaction to its completion.
• The SVF will seek to invest without partiality with the private sector partner and always on commercial terms.
