Aventure
Aventure partners with small and medium businesses where we can offer funding, plus business development experience and guidance.
We have a special interest in green and sustainable business, and extensive experience in the food industry, plus import and distribution.
Our approach is extremely flexible, and currently incorporates a mix of loan finance, minority equity positions and management guidance.
Every business is different and requires a different solution. Our experience has given us the ability to think laterally and come up with innovative solutions which meet practical business needs.
Aventure’s involvement in any project is ultimately dependent on an assessment that
1) The project is interesting to us. If we don’t feel a connection to the business we won’t get involved.
2) We can add something positive. If we don’t believe we are able to make a positive contribution then we won’t get involved.
3) The project has a future. If we don’t believe the business is viable, then we will say so.
Funding / Investment
Aventure offers funding for small and medium enterprises. This can be tailored in a variety of ways, and typically the package is worked out in consultation with the business owner. It can be straight loan finance, equity (investment in the business by way of a shareholding), or a mixture.
