Back to resultsENTERPRISE CAPITAL FUNDS (ECFs)

Enterprise Capital Funds (ECFs) address a market weakness in the provision of equity finance to SMEs by
using Government funding alongside private sector investment to establish funds that operate within the
‘equity gap’.

In April 2008 responsibility for the management of ECFs was transferred to Capital for Enterprise Limited who can
be contacted through their website: www.capitalforenterprise.gov.uk

ECFs are managed by 10 Fund Managers; those who are still in their investment period are listed below for SMEs to
