SBS report “ A mapping study of VC provision to SMEs in England”. The research was done Dec 04 - March 05. Its 94 pages long; in the following extracts I use the para numbers from the report. YH means Yorkshire and the Humber.
3.14 YH’s ratio of public to private funds is relatively low compared to the North West and Merseyside, the West Midlands and the South West.
8.14 YH has the lowest “estimated value of investment 2003-4”
8.15 YH has the lowest investment activity at the seed level (8%) whereas eg NE has 28% of all investments at the seed level
8.17 YH has the lowest percentage of investment in the IT and Healthcare, as opposed to services, manufacturing and other
Chart 56 commenting on the low level of seed investment in YH “ This reflects the fact that there are few seed focused funds in the region.”
