North West Equity Fund (NWEF) provides Risk Capital to North West SMEs looking to achieve significant growth.

We will consider investments across a wide variety of manufacturing and service sectors at any stage of the business cycle.

Initial tranches will usually be limited to £250k, with subsequent investments possible up to a maximum investment of £500k.

Over recent years there has been a shift in emphasis by UK providers of Risk Capital towards larger transactions.  As a result, businesses seeking smaller amounts (up to £500,000) have encountered great difficulty in raising funds.  It is this ‘Equity Gap’ that the NWEF seeks to fill.

We invest in businesses operating in the North West of England.  This comprises Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria.
