We’ re with you for the long term

UKSE’ s equity finance offering provides more than just cash

At UKSE, when we invest in your business, we don’ t just provide a pot of money and call you back in six months’ time to check on how it’ s growing.

With 50 years’ experience of providing equity finance, we’ ve learned that organisations thrive when investment is paired with supportive, knowledgeable partners with a network of contacts, who are aligned to your goals and ambitions.
We also open doors to additional rounds of funding when the time is right for your business.
Sarah Thorpe, UKSE’ s regional manager for the north, said:“ When you welcome equity investment from UKSE, you don’ t just get the money to turn your business plans into reality – you get a new, trusted business partner.
“ In addition, our work with you doesn’ t end once you have the money in the bank- we continue to work with you to provide additional support and access to a network of contacts to help you achieve your goals.”
UKSE- the subsidiary of Tata Steel tasked with helping the economic regeneration of communities affected by changes in the steel industry- understands there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to funding.
That’ s why it also offers business loans, helping organisations explore in detail the sources of funding that best fit their unique circumstances and business models.
However, businesses that take the option of equity investment from UKSE often report better outcomes for the company, its employees and its investors.
That’ s because equity investment
Supportive- UKSE’ s investment team
provides access to larger amounts of capital and a reduced repayment burden, which gives the organisation space to grow properly.
Sarah says:“ At UKSE, we’ re all about having a genuine, positive social impact within the communities we serve and building trusting relationships.
“ The partnerships we have built up through equity funding are the reason some of our clients have been with us for over 30 years.
“ If you’ d like more information on how UKSE can support your business growth plans, either as a minority shareholder or through access to affordable borrowing, contact us today.”
