Small UK Businesses with Big Ambitions Set to Get More Investment

SHARE THIS PAGE
7th July 22
Having had a track record of success through similar managed investments in the US and Ireland, Beach Point Capital Management has secured £20m in another deal that has its sights on UK small businesses. 
 
The funds come from British Business Investments, part of British Business Bank, which aims to iron out the imbalances seen in businesses in UK regional areas. 
 
By committing the £20m, Beech Point will have the ability to invest between £2m-£5m in smaller UK businesses that aspire to achieve high growth. 
 
While all regions of the UK are eligible, a large part of the focus will be on businesses in:
  • Northern Ireland
  • The North of England
  • Scotland
As quoted by Bdaily News, CEO of British Business Investments, Judith Hartley, states: “British Business Investments is committed to ensuring smaller businesses across the UK can access as diverse a range of finance options as possible, to help them grow and succeed.”
 
Shane Lanigan, Portfolio Manager at Beach Point Capital Management said: “Now, more than ever, these companies are in need of bespoke, non-dilutive sources of financing to fund their growth and operations and in turn drive employment and economic expansion across their communities and the country.”

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I recently enrolled in the Computing Online Degree Pathway with Learndirect and had the pleasure of dealing with Scott Chapman. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. Scott was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions clearly and promptly. He explained the course structure, payment options, and progression pathways in detail, which made it easy for me to make an informed decision. The fact that I could spread the fees over 6 months with just a small deposit was a huge help. The enrolment process was quick and straightforward, and I appreciated the 14-day cooling-off period, which gave me peace of mind. I'm excited to get started and would highly recommend Learndirect and Scott to anyone looking to study online. Thanks again for all your help! Donovan Ncube St Helena Island

Callum Stephens. He was fantastic. I had questions before starting, and he explained everything, making sure I understood and I am the type of person who asks 1000's of questions. Enrolling was made smooth and enjoyable thanks to how he explained and guided me through everything. Thank you, Callum.
