Corporate finance in the north west: acquisitions dominate market

Article Abstract:

The market for corporate finance in north west England is not likely to be as large in 1996 as it was in 1995 when there were two major deals. These were the acquisition of Norweb by North West Water, and the acquisition of Boddingtons by Greenalls. Large companies are still selling non-core activities, and this should help the market in 1996, as should low interest rates, low levels of inflation, increased liquidity for investors, and the imminence of an election in the UK.

The truth is out there

Article Abstract:

The British Venture Capital Association reported 1996 as a record year and investment was up by 28% at 3.2 billion pounds sterling. Competition has increased among venture capitalists from north west England where 3i is dominant. 3i accounted for more than 30% of deals in terms of numbers and 20% in value terms for the year to Mar 1997. Venture capital trusts (VCTs) are being used for smaller investments and a VCT from Murray Johnstone has been oversubscribed.
