This section sets out the company's own financial reporting, the categories of commentary published under the FinVentures name, and the external records in which FinVentures UK Limited appears.
FinVentures UK Limited was incorporated in England and Wales on 23 August 2001 under company number 04275894, and is an investment holding company operating as a subsidiary within a wider group. Its registered office is at 1 Basinghall Avenue, London, EC2V 5DD. Anyone working with a document in this section should first establish which entity it relates to and which period it covers, because a group and a subsidiary within it are not the same reporting entity.
Three kinds of material are gathered here and they carry different weight. Corporate reporting describes the company itself and is prepared to statutory requirements for a defined accounting period. Written commentary describes conditions outside the company, such as market behaviour or the economic backdrop. Third-party records are compiled by other organisations, from the public register and from sources of their own.
The distinction matters as soon as a figure or a statement is being relied on. A filed set of accounts is a formal record of a period that has closed. A note on market conditions is an observation rather than a commitment. Nothing in either category is an offer, a recommendation, or advice on which to invest.
Entries held by registers, news services and commercial data platforms, maintained by those organisations rather than by the company.
Registers, news services and commercial data platforms keep their own entries for UK companies. Where FinVentures UK Limited appears in one of them, the entry reflects that provider's sources and update cycle rather than a statement issued by the company.
Identification is the practical reason these records exist. A counterparty, a regulator or a data vendor needs to be certain which legal entity is meant, particularly where company names resemble one another. Codes such as the Legal Entity Identifier exist for that purpose and no other. They settle which entity is being referred to. They say nothing about its financial condition or its standing.
Announcements released through regulated disclosure channels. The releasing entity and the release date appear on the face of the notice.
Commercial platforms that compile company data from filings and other public sources. Coverage and refresh frequency differ from one provider to the next.
Directory-style records derived from the public register. Older entries can lag the current position recorded at Companies House.
Legal Entity Identifiers and similar reference codes, used to tie a record to one specific legal entity and to nothing else.
Written commentary deals with conditions in the markets and in the wider economy. On the market side that means how equity and debt markets are functioning, what is happening in private capital, and how corporate transactions are being structured and financed. Subjects are taken up when there is something worth saying about them.
Economic material covers monetary policy, inflation, growth, exchange rates and international financial conditions. Work of that kind involves a judgement about the future, which is a different sort of claim from a verifiable corporate fact. Where both appear in one document, the forward view is the part that may not hold.
Credit conditions, issuance and the cost of borrowing across the capital structure.
How deals are being structured, financed and sequenced in current conditions.
Early-stage funding conditions and how risk is being priced at that end of the market.
Formal announcements are made once a development has been settled, not while it is being considered. The gap between a discussion, a signed agreement and a completed transaction is not a matter of wording. Each marks a different point, and each carries different consequences.
Take the status stated in an announcement at face value and read nothing further into it. A disclosed discussion may lead nowhere. An agreement may rest on conditions that are not yet satisfied. Only a completed transaction has actually taken effect.
Talks that have been disclosed but not concluded. There is no certainty that any agreement will follow.
Terms signed by the parties, which may still depend on conditions or approvals being satisfied.
Steps that have taken effect, recorded with the date on which they did so.
Everything in this section is general information. It takes no account of any particular reader's circumstances, objectives or constraints, and none of it is an offer, an inducement, or advice to buy, sell or hold anything.
Where material produced by third parties is referenced, the reference is there for identification. It is not an endorsement or a recommendation, and it does not make that material the company's own.
Older items stay available and they stay as they were. A document published some years ago describes the position at its own date. It says nothing about the company's present financial position, ownership or activity. For the current record, the register maintained by Companies House is the authoritative source.
