Delivered by River Capital, this debt fund is intended to provide an alternative source of finance for SMEs across the Liverpool City Region and surrounding areas.
Providing loans between £100k – £300k that will be complementary to main stream funders where the latter are unable to assist, the Fund looks to support businesses at various stages of development including early stage, growth capital, capital expenditure, acquisitions and succession (including MBOs).
As with most of River Capital’s debt funds under management, the fund is sector agnostic but with an aim to help create jobs and attract private sector investment alongside, to help meet MSIF’s aims to improve commercial prosperity levels across the sub region.
Additionally, as well as having capacity to repay the loan, applicants should also be willing to embrace ESG principles and add social value.
