Quarterly Bulletin 1990 Q1
Published on 01 March 1990

An article in the June 1984 Bulletin considered the emergence and growth of venture capital in the United Kingdom. This article describes developments since then and examines the possible consequences of these developments for the venture capital industry. In particular it looks at evidence of increasing 'short termism', the effects of competitive pressures within the industry and the possible widening of gaps in the provision of finance for the start-up and expansion of young businesses.
