Southampton just plain sailing
Article Abstract:
Southampton, England is an area which is becoming more attractive to firms specializing in venture capital especially those companies who wish to expand their operation into the South yet do not want to face the intense competition found in London, England. Southampton is a vibrant area for small businesses who need investment which can be facilitated by venture capital companies. High quality legal advice is at hand with the possibility of using experts from London if required although local firms try to make use of their own investment managers.

Making waves on the south coast
Article Abstract:
There is growing interest in the potential of Southampton, England, as a regional centre for the provision of corporate finance advice. However, there have been few completed deals throughout most of 1997, mainly because of the high prices that are currently being commanded by businesses. Purchasers are reluctant to go ahead with deals unless they feel that the high price will be justified by synergistic benefits. Venture capitalists are generally finding it rather difficult to identify co-investors.

Euro shake out beckons
Article Abstract:
The future of European-based venture capital firms may depend on the ability to offer unique or specialist services, according to market expert Gordon Murray, who spoke to delegates at the 1998 Management Buyout Conference. Murray believes the market will eventually be dominated by a select few large firms due to the falling numbers of viable investment opportunities in the European market. Other speakers criticised accountants for failing to take greater risks in the venture capital sector.
