Maturity brings its own problems
Article Abstract:
The UK management buy-out (MBO) market hasmatured, though competition is still intense, and there is still a large supply of finance and human capital. There were 542 MBO transactions in 1995, a 1.1% drop compared with 1994. The mean average for the five years to 1995 has been 540 transactions annualy, with variations of under 10% of this figure. Lower returns are accepted by some investors if the risks are also lower. The amount of capital available could be reduced if returns are low over the long term.

The role of PEFA
Article Abstract:
The UK Private Equity Funding Association (PEFA) is geared to accountants and lawyers as members and aims to improve standards in the sector of business nagels providing venture capital. PEFA was set up in Mar 1995 and seeks to inspect business plans on a random basis. PEFA has established certain standards which could be imposed if they became part of UK law. The government is not likely to enact such legislation, however and the sector is in favor of self-regulation.
