Fund raising in the Southwest
Article Abstract:
In the UK's southwest region, businesses seeking funding will find that the sources available to them are similar to those in the rest of the country. Venture investment companies, such as NatWest Ventures and 3i, are leading players in the local market. The financial centres of Bristol and Cardiff are well-served by most of the major clearing banks, which offer attractive financial packages in a competitive environment. An example of a local company seeking local funding is that of plastics maker IPT, which was the subject of a 36 million pounds sterling management buyout.
