Private Capital Pulse - September 2025

In the lead-up to the BVCA’s annual Summit in September, the BVCA surveyed over 85 senior decision makers in private equity and venture capital firms across the whole of the UK. This survey captured investors sentiment about the UK’s attractiveness as an investment destination, their investment plans and how the UK compares internationally. 

The findings show that the UK remains an attractive place to invest, with four in ten (39%) of those surveyed stating the UK is a good or excellent place to build a business. Investors also expect IPO activity to pick up with one-third considering an IPO for a business in the next 12 months.

The Private Capital Pulse Survey will be conducted twice a year, with the next edition scheduled for February 2026. A summary of the latest findings is available using the button below.
