Business Description
Mercia focuses on some of the highest growth sectors in the UK, including:
• Digital & Digital Entertainment
• Electronics, Materials, Manufacturing & Engineering
• Software & the Internet
• Life Sciences & Biosciences
The Group benefits from 19 university partnerships and eight offices across the UK, providing it with direct access to high quality, regional deal flow. From seed through to exit, Mercia is well placed to deploy a full range of equity and debt capital, from seed rounds of £100,000 to funding rounds of £10m, through its 'Complete Capital Solution.' This combines third party managed funds with the potential for direct investment via Mercia Technologies PLC, which is able to support businesses at a later stage to drive growth and enhance value.
