Information for Financial Intermediaries

SYIF are very keen to work alongside Financial Intermediaries to help you, help your clients.

If your clients have a funding gap, then they may be eligible for a seedcorn, loan or equity package from South Yorkshire investment Fund.

Making Deals Happen

We work with other lenders and investors to create financial packages to make deals happen. We are able to fund businesses in most manufacturing and service sectors which are based in or relocating to Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham or Sheffield.

Our focus is on small to medium sized businesses. An SME is a business employing less than 250 employees, with an annual turnover of less than 50m Euros (~£36m^*) or have balance sheet net assets of less than 43m Euros (~£31m^*). The business cannot be part of a larger group employing more than 250 employees where the group owns at least a 25% share of the business.

Our aim is to finance ambitious entrepreneurs who can demonstrate their ability to grow their business beyond their current funding limits.
