2020 in review: a year of two halves for the UK growth capital market

2020 in review: a year of two halves for the UK growth capital market

Moore Kingston Smith

Of UK private companies raising between £1 million and £20 million of growth equity capital each, 767 UK businesses raised a total of £3.67 billion in 2020, down on 2019 and 2018. Average deal size in 2020 was also down compared to 2019 from £4.93 million to £4.78 million, though it remained higher than the average deal size of £4.52 million seen in 2018.

However, if we examine 2020 quarterly data, we can see it was clearly a year of two halves. A fairly slow Q1 and extremely difficult Q2 were followed by something of a rebound in the second six months of the year. Q4 saw a 7% increase in the number of deals compared with Q3, with more deals completing in the last three months of the year than in three out of the four quarters of 2019.

The IT sector remained the most popular for investors throughout 2020, accounting for over 40% of deals in the final quarter. Investment in the B2C and healthcare sectors also remained strong throughout the year.

It is encouraging to see the UK’s growth capital market only temporarily pushed off course before resuming more normal levels of activity. We believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if the tunnel is a bit longer than we might have wished for.

THE ONLY TRUSTED AND GUARANTEED RECOVERY EXPERT TODAY (MR MORRIS GRAY)

Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $279,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL. COM , the email provided for consultation, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Contact; MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL,COM...

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Michael. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
