Small and growing companies will enjoy better access to finance on the back of new EU rules agreed as part of the Commission’s drive to stimulate Venture Capital investment.
The overhaul of the existing European Venture Capital Funds (EuVECA) regulations proposed in 2016 as part of the capital markets action plan has now been agreed. The objective is to improve access to finance for small and growing companies and to promote the Investment Plan for Europe, an EU strategy to tackle the lack of finance that is holding back Europe’s potential to grow.
