Adding value through partnership
Article Abstract:
Venture capitalists in the UK market can no longer sit on their investments and wait for an automatic rise in value: instead, they need to look beyond the existing business and see its hidden value and then extract this value. This is particularly relevant in the competitive UK venture capital market. Such a 'buy and build' strategy is pursued by BancBoston Capital, which believes that taking a proactive approach and careful planning can help produce a good investment return. One of the fundamental points for venture capitalists is for thorough due diligence to take place before they invest.

One step further
Article Abstract:
Environmental auditors must widen the scope of the environmental due diligence process to look at more than the extent of pollution and how the company deals with environmental matters. They must be aware of the causes of the pollution. They will be obliged to consider health and safety matters, the condition of buildings, machinery and drainage sites and how the site has been managed. The purchaser will be able to negotiate a better deal and take into consideration the cost of remedying any deficiencies if they have the full information regarding all environmental factors.
