SBNN | Paddy Graham: Significant increase in deal volume in Scotland
Data released last week by consultancy firm Beauhurst showed that the UK’s high-growth economy is in good health. A record £8.3 billion was invested in high-growth companies during 2017, more than double the previous 12 months.
The number of deals that took place in Scotland soared by 44% year-on-year. This increase was second only to the South West of England and compares to an 8% growth in London.
Scotland’s performance can be credited in no small part to a growing and increasingly active network of angel investors. They accounted for just under one third of all Scottish deals and one quarter of all UK angel deals.
