Growth investments, spin-outs, start-ups and Start to Scale

Our market-leading corporate team supports some of the most innovative, high-growth companies and spin-outs in the UK to raise their initial growth (start-up/seed) capital. We also work with high net worth angel investors, angel syndicates and family offices looking to invest in such companies. 

Our corporate solicitors are alive to the issues facing such businesses. The team supports the entrepreneurial ecosystem in which it works through pro bono mentoring arrangements and partnerships with promising incubators and accelerators such as Bright Red Triangle, Edinburgh Innovations Students, the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation and the Launch Academy by ORE Catapult.

Our team knows the fundraising process can be daunting. Therefore, our advice is always in plain English and without jargon. We help our clients in their investment decision-making process and ensure strong foundations are set at the outset, which helps ambitious entrepreneurs deliver on their potential. Because we are very active at each stage of the growth company lifecycle, we add value by ensuring entrepreneurs can grow their businesses quickly.

Our Start to Scale initiative helps supercharge, and support, our start-ups and scale-ups by providing access to essential resources, insight from key stakeholders in the business community as well as in person market square events. Read more here.
