Equity funding

We can help match Scottish companies with the ambition to grow with private sector investors. The investors make the decision to invest in the business and our investment funds match the investment.

There are three investment funds:

Scottish Seed Fund

The Scottish Seed Fund can provide equity and, in some cases, loan investments from £20,000 to £100,000 to early stage businesses keen to grow – and which meet various criteria relating to their size and commercial viability.

Scottish Co-investment Fund

The Scottish Co-investment Fund (SCF) is a £72 million equity investment fund to invest from £100,000 to £1 million in company finance deals of up to £2 million.

Scottish Venture Fund

The Scottish Venture Fund (SVF) is a new fund that invests from £500,000 to £2 million in company finance deals of between £2 million and £10 million.
