Finance Yorkshire
Finance Yorkshire has officially finalised the regional £90million fund for business growth.
The venture capital and loan fund, which recently opened its office at the Capitol Business Park in Barnsley, can now commence investing in businesses across Yorkshire and Humber after receiving the £45million from the European Investment Bank.
The Fund will be invested over four years to 2014. From that point, Finance Yorkshire expects the realisation of successful investment to help create an evergreen legacy fund of around £50m by 2019. This will be added to the expected legacy funds created by South Yorkshire Investment Fund and Partnership Investment Finance, the two similar funds in Yorkshire, which are now fully invested.
Finance Yorkshire will provide seedcorn, loan and equity linked investments, ranging from £15,000 to £2m to help small and medium businesses meet the gaps in funding they need for growth and development.
The project is supported financially by the European Union. It has attracted £30million investment from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of Europe's support for the region's economic development through the Yorkshire and Humber ERDF Programme.
