Catalyst serves the social business sector, offering research, investment and… (more) consultancy services to a variety of social, ethical, and environmental businesses. Our work draws on our experience in the worlds of investment banking, social entrepreneurship, international development, venture capital and the voluntary sector.
This exciting field is one that offers significant opportunities for innovation to both new and existing businesses. Our role is to provide the information, advice, networks and, in the case of our fund management business, capital to drive the growth of these businesses and the sector as a whole.
There are three principles at the core of Catalyst’s success:
* In-depth knowledge of a sector is a prerequisite for adding value
* Our business must build great relationships with people—our employees, clients, investors, and vendors
* Our work must be both personally fulfilling and professionally worthwhile
Catalyst Fund Management & Research Ltd is regulated by The FSA.
