Leeds, England, is a major financial and legal center for business deals. There has been some slowing of activity, though certain areas are buoyant. There was a rise of 14% in buyouts in 1998 in the region of Yorkshire, England, with 65 buy-outs in that year. Smaller companies have found that the stock market has not fulfilled their needs, and many of these companies are seeking help from the private equity sector, when they have a requirement for capital.
