I believe there are businesses with growth plans in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area that could benefit from Finance Wales' funds and experience.

 

We're investing in more and more businesses across Wales. Many of those businesses are referred to us by advisers, such as yourself, helping their clients find investment.

 

Are your clients:

  • Developing new products and services?
  • Planning to expand into new markets or locations?
  • Planning to move premises?
  • Considering buying a business?

If your clients have robust business plans, we may have the funds to help them realise their plans.

 

Working with the experts

 

You have the local business knowledge. You know what makes businesses you work with tick.

 

We have a strong track record of working with business advisers, banks and accountants in structuring investments.

 

Working with Finance Wales could help your business grow as well as your client's.

 

Type of investment

 

We've completed a number of development capital deals across Wales.

 

We have a strong track record of completing management succession deals. We've helped businesses continue trading after an owner retires, or when one shareholder wants to buy out others.

 

We often co-invest with banks or other commercial or private investors. We've also structured syndicated investments for business that have received grants.
