Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Investment Fund
The Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Investment Fund was created to channel capital into regional SMEs. British Business Bank serves as operator and parent. The European Regional Development Fund acted as co-investor. The strategy centers on co-investment, early-stage venture, growth equity, and venture debt. Capital deploys across start-up and expansion phases. Activity concentrates in the United Kingdom with emphasis on Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The £200m South West Investment Fund launched in 2023 as successor after the original vehicle finished its investment phase. No additional offices or team size figures appear in available records. Public-entity backing and regional mandate shape the fund's sourcing and deployment model.
