Abstract

This paper provides a critical review of UK government proposals to develop venture capital funds in the English regions to address the 'equity gap'. It argues that there is currently an adequate supply of equity-type funding under 250,000. The real equity gap is between the more informal, packaged finance structures and the formal venture capital market which is dominated by MBOs and MBIs. It is argued that the creation of strong venture capital markets in the regions requires the close co-ordination between all the various actors in the system at regional and national levels. Regional Development Agencies have the tools to enable them to perform this co-ordinating task.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
