Backed by the government through the British Business Bank, Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF) equity investment provides funding for small business start-ups and medium-sized businesses that are looking to grow.
In exchange for a portion of ownership in your business, NPIF funding is delivered in partnership with dedicated fund managers across the North of England.
Any small business based in the North of England seeking investment to rapidly grow, including those seeking business funding in Manchester, can get funding from NPIF.
NPIF equity finance supports businesses that are in either the early or later stages of their growth journey.
Whilst there will always be exceptions to this, an equity stake of between 10% and 25% would be a reasonable expectation for an early-stage investment.
With a capable, experienced management team, it might well be that an investor can take a back seat and simply observe and monitor progress from a distance. However, where the management team is less experienced, the investor might feel the need to provide support or indeed, be asked to provide support. Most investors have experience in building companies and there is no doubt that early-stage businesses can benefit from this insight. An experienced investor will have also developed a network of valued contacts able to be brought in to provide specialist services across a wide range of disciplines.
Examples of support an investor might be able to provide or introduce are provided below:
