We choose businesses we believe will bring positive social benefits as they grow and prosper. We have developed a three stage process to target and measure social impact while also retaining a clear focus on the commercial success of the company. This process begins with a social screen.
Social screen
Our first two funds are dedicated to companies that can deliver strong social benefits either through their geographic location in underinvested areas or through their sector or approach, for example in healthcare, education and the environment.
Location in an under-invested area:
We invest in businesses that have the following characteristics:
- Geographic Location:
Based in the one of the most deprived areas in the UK measure using the Index of Multiple Deprivation. To find out if you are in one of the areas click here
- Economic Links:
Connected with the local economy by employment, market or supply chain. Find out more....
Sector
We also invest in businesses outside our target areas if businesses can demonstrate strong social benefit in: healthcare, education and the environment
If your business fits the profile then please send your business plan to info@bridgesventures.com
If you do not yet have a business plan or if you are looking for debt or grants (which we do not provide), please visit our resources page.
