The Founders

Together, CT, Eden Scott and MBM Commercial have identified a gap in the investment event market in Scotland. It's a gap to help scale-up companies access investment funding.

So why us? What makes us so passionate about our work, team and clients?

Our passion isn’t just in numbers. It’s in knowing how they can help. We work together, as one firm. We’re here to ensure that nothing slips through the gaps, and we have the experience to prove it.

We take a people-led approach and giving our best is the goal, there are no limits. We want to help you thrive and be successful, it’s as simple as that.

The Partners

The Scottish National Investment Bank

Established in 2020, the Scottish National Investment Bank (the Bank) is Scotland’s development investment bank, wholly owned by the Scottish Ministers on behalf of the people of Scotland. The Bank is a PLC and operationally independent from the government.

The Bank is an impact investor, focused on delivering both commercial returns and mission impacts with its investments.

The Bank invests in businesses and projects connected to Scotland, requiring £1 million to £50 million of patient debt or equity investment.

The Bank can act as a catalyst for attracting investment where the private market is failing to provide the support businesses and projects require to grow. This is particularly relevant for scale-up businesses, which are taking a proven concept and seeking to deliver it to a wider market by dramatically expanding their scale and productivity.
