Supported by MSIF and the Liverpool City Growth Platform, The LCR Finance Hub is a free gateway for SMEs wishing to access external funding, with the aim of making the process less confusing.

The LCR Finance Hub also recognises that whilst SMEs may need financial support, their propositions are not always investment ready and they can assist with anything from business plans to financial forecasts and other supporting information.

River Capital helps ambitious small and medium sized businesses to accelerate their growth and achieve their full potential. They do this through providing flexible funding solutions alongside expertise and knowledge of the challenges growing businesses and entrepreneurs face.

Established in 2002 as Alliance Fund Managers, River Capital manages and deploys funds on behalf of MSIF across debt, mezzanine, and private equity. River Capital also manages funds on behalf of third parties.

Funded and supported by MSIF, Gateway Angels is the leading angel investor network operating in the Liverpool City Region, providing members with access to early-stage investment opportunities that supports the growth and prosperity of the city’s flourishing entrepreneurial spirt.

Members gain exclusive access to a thoroughly vetted pipeline of investment opportunities in high-growth sectors, becoming partners on each founder’s journey rather than simply as a finance provider. Members provide their expertise, connections, and real-world business experience to assist in building the city’s entrepreneurial future.
