What we do
The BVCA is the industry body and public policy advocate for the private equity and venture capital industry in the UK. Our members come from venture capital, through mid-market, to private equity/large buy-out houses from all over Britain.
Our voice is one of authority when speaking for, or negotiating on behalf of, the UK industry. Our aim is to aid understanding, clarity and transparency around the activities of our members, promoting our industry to entrepreneurs and investors—as well as Government, trade unions, the media and the general public.
We provide a growing list of services and best practice standards for our members across a spectrum of activities covering a network of interconnected committees, which focus on segment-led, legal, technical, regulatory, investor-led and service-led needs. We also provide networking opportunities, training courses, research, publications, public affairs and communications on behalf of the industry.
With a membership of over 450 firms, we represent the vast majority of all UK-based private equity and venture capital firms and their advisors. The benefits of becoming a member—whether full or associate—are wide-ranging and only briefly described above.
