The new venture, Chelverton Investment Club, will invest in businesses valued between £500,000 and £5 million.
The club will not invest in property, funds of funds, or exclusively in start-ups, but invest in existing, profitable and cash generative businesses looking to raise development and replacement capital, or undergoing management buyouts, management buy-ins, or buy-in management buyouts.
Chelverton managing director, David Horner, said: "We have seen the UK economy improve for the past 15 months and now ‘green shoots’ of growth are appearing. The environment is right to launch the Investor’s Club as there has never been such extensive and generous allowances and schemes from government to support such ventures.
"The investment opportunities that the club focuses on have also been long overlooked by other private company equity providers and with a large majority of banks still not lending to small companies as they were, the club carves a niche in the market which will aim to both revitalise investment in UK small companies and present good value investment opportunities to investors."
