# The North West Fund
The North West Fund is a £155 million investment fund dedicated to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises across the North West of England. Managed by North West Business Finance Limited, an independent private sector organisation, the fund addresses a critical gap in the region's lending, venture capital and private equity markets.
The fund serves ambitious business owners and entrepreneurs seeking growth capital that traditional lenders may not provide. By offering both debt and equity financing solutions through specialised sub-funds, each with dedicated fund managers, The North West Fund enables businesses to scale operations, create jobs and drive regional economic development.
What distinguishes The North West Fund is its proven track record and substantial regional impact. The fund has directly invested £155 million across 443 North West businesses, whilst catalysing £300 million in private sector leverage—demonstrating significant confidence from co-investors. Most notably, these investments have generated over 6,300 jobs across the region, making a tangible contribution to North West prosperity.
Rather than operating as a traditional bank, the fund takes a long-term partnership approach, understanding that growing businesses need flexible financing solutions tailored to their circumstances. Its status as a fully invested fund shows commitment to the region's business community, with each investment carefully selected to support sustainable growth. This combination of substantial capital availability, regional specialisation, experienced fund management and demonstrable economic impact makes The North West Fund an invaluable resource for North West businesses seeking to realise their growth ambitions.
