Description

To develop the company’s products and fund their initial marketing. Companies may be in the process of being set up or may have been trading for a short time, but not have sold their product commercially.

Although many start-ups are typically smaller companies, there is an increasing number of multi-million pound start-ups. There are those who specialise in this stage, subject to the company seeking investment meeting the firm’s other investment preferences. Around 15% of companies receiving private equity each year are start-ups.
