Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European private equity investment reached €47 billion in 2005, up 27% from 2004. Funds raised for private equity were €72 billion, up 250% on the previous year, both figures being all time highs. Raising Venture Capital Finance in Europe provides business owners, entrepreneurs and investors alike with a step-by-step approach to exploiting this market and funding new projects effectively. Written by Keith Arundale, an advisor and commentator on the European and US VC and private equity industry for over 20 years, the guide blends business experience with practical approaches to enable the reader to maximize the opportunities available. The book includes a series of real-life case studies from venture capitalists and entrepreneurs from around Europe, each with practical tips for successful venture capital finance raising. With forewords from Sir Paul Judge (Chairman, Enterprise Education Trust) and Patrick Sheehan (Chairman, Venture Capital Committee, European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association) the book begins with a brief introduction to the field, including an analysis of current trends and issues in the industry, and goes on to provide a detailed framework for an objective assessment of each business opportunity. The book looks at sources of finance and private equity, shows how to write a successful business plan, details the entire investment process, and considers the tax and legal issues involved. A particular feature of the book is that it looks at the topic from both sides - showing what the venture capitalist is looking for as well as detailing how an entrepreneur or business owner can make proposals attractive to those investors This means that the reader will be able to minimize time wasted on unnecessary activities and therefore develop investment approaches which are succinct, relevant, and give every chance of success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carbon Trust was set up in 2001 to take the lead on low carbon technology and innovation in the United Kingdom. Its aim is to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy by helping organisations reduce their current carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and developing commercial low carbon technologies. In 2006-07, the advice and financial support for measures to reduce carbon dioxide provided by the Trust resulted in an estimated reduction in CO2 emissions by its customers of between 1.2 million and 2.0 million tonnes, equivalent to a projected net financial saving of between £222 million and £359 million in future reduced energy costs. The Carbon Trust estimates that its work supporting the development of low carbon technology up to March 2007 could lead to an annual reduction of between 13.7 million and 20.7 million tonnes of CO2 by 2050. The Trust's support to commercialise emerging low carbon technologies could lead to further sizeable CO2 emissions reductions in the future. The Trust's support of such enterprises has encouraged the private sector to invest £2 for every £1 it has committed to its Innovation Programme and £10 for every £1 committed to its venture capital investments. On this basis the Carbon Trust's advice to businesses has proved value for money and its Innovation Programme appears to be on course to do likewise. The Carbon Trust has worked with at least 12 per cent of companies with energy bills of over £50,000 a year, but wider market penetration could generate greater reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.
