Q1 Figures From Beauhurst Give the Clear Picture of Equity Crowdfunding Market

http://ift.tt/2pY83Sk

The crowdfunding index (attached) from the latest edition of Beauhurst’s, The Deal, shows that crowdfunding saw 11% growth in deal numbers with £45m invested over 80 deals, bucking overall equity investment into UK’s high-growth businesses in first quarter which remained stagnant.

Commenting on the release of Beauhurst’s quarterly report on the Crowdfunding industry, The Deal, Luke Lang, co-founder of Crowdcube, said: “The latest figures from Beauhurst released this week tell us what we have known for a long time; that when it comes to investment raised we’re blowing the competition out of the water by a substantial margin.

Capital successfully invested is the key measure of platform performance for savvy entrepreneurs and astute institutional and private investors rather than over simplistic data based on deals completed, which can be highly misleading. For us, this is more important than the number of deals done as it reflects how Crowdcube and the market is maturing.

According to AltFi Data we have achieved the highest internal rate of return (IRR) in equity crowdfunding to date and have been responsible for the most number of exits our sector, we’re currently beta testing our secondary market platform, and completed the first on-platform secondary share trade earlier this month.”

Crowdcube recently announced its second consecutive record quarter putting the business on a trajectory to beat last year’s investment record of over £80 million raised, further proving that the sector is now a mainstream funding option.

Growth Street Launches New ‘How to Improve Cash Flow’ Tool

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Growth Street is delighted to announce the launch of its free “How to Improve Cash Flow” tool.

Designed for small business owners, the tool aims to understand the ‘pain points’ for UK SMEs when cash flow becomes an issue, and provides insights developed by Growth Street’s Chief Financial Officer, Ciaran O’ Donnell, on how to tackle these cash flow challenges.

The launch signals a development of Greg Carter’s (Growth Street’s Founder and CEO) vision; to give businesses the tools they need to grow.

By answering a few simple questions ranging from business seasonality to main monthly costs, the free tool quickly assesses the company’s behaviour. Within minutes, an email is sent with analysis identifying specific areas for improvement.

According to the C2FO Working Capital Outlook Survey, at a time when SMEs are looking to streamline their finances, 55 percent of businesses surveyed say that cash flow problems are their biggest obstacle to business growth.

Commenting on the launch, Greg Carter said: “We want to offer much-needed support to small businesses at times when they require it the most. The “How to Improve Cash Flow” tool aims to allow business owners to identify quick wins in their cash flow management and better position them to seize growth opportunities.

Europe: freedom of establishment and cross-border conversions

http://ift.tt/2fhHfsM
Advocate-General Kokott delivered her opinion last Thursday in Polbud-Wykonawstwo sp. z o.o., in liquidation (Case C-106/16). The provisional text of the opinion is available here.

The case concerned a Polish private limited company that wanted to transfer its legal seat to Luxembourg. The mechanism for doing so under Polish law required the company to be removed from the Polish commercial register, the process for which also demanded that the company was wound-up.  Did this requirement for winding-up undermine freedom of establishment under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union?  Yes, according to the Advocate-General; to quote directly from her opinion:

“In the case where a company incorporated under the law of one Member State has actually established itself, or intends to establish itself, in another Member State for the purpose of carrying on genuine economic activity there, and converts itself into a company governed by the law of the latter Member State, the application of national legislation under which the removal of that company from the commercial register of the Member State of origin is subject to the condition that that company must first be wound up after having been liquidated restricts the freedom of establishment”.

This stylish lounge at JFK Airport is all about ‘unparalleled luxury’

http://ift.tt/2jczull

Etihad JFK Airport Lounge 37

Over the past decade, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport has made a concerted effort to improve customer experience and integrate a higher level of luxury amenities. One of the most recent and impressive additions is the Etihad Airways Premium Lounge located inside JFK’s Terminal 4.

“Everything we do at Etihad is about providing unparalleled luxury,” Etihad senior vice president for the Americas, Martin Drew, told Business Insider during a tour of the facility. “We don’t necessarily benchmark ourselves just against other airlines, but more so against some of the finest hotels and restaurants in the world.”

Opened at the end of 2015, the lounge extends the Etihad’s premium service beyond the aircraft — putting the airline in a prime position to attract highly lucrative business and high-class leisure travelers. In addition to the lounge, the Abu Dhabi-based airline is ramping up its New York operation with the adoption of the Airbus A380 superjumbo on its JFK-bound flights.

Here’s a closer look at the JFK Terminal 4’s Etihad Lounge.
