Charter HCP and University of West London Launch the Pritchard Centre for Resilient Venture Firms

Charter HCP and University of West London Launch the Pritchard Centre for Resilient Venture Firms

Charter HCP and the University of West London (UWL) announced the Pritchard Centre, supporting research into resilience-focused venture firms.

Charter HCP is proud to have supported the launch of the Pritchard Centre in partnership with the University of West London (UWL). The Centre is dedicated to advancing research and practice around resilience-focused venture firms.

The initiative reflects a shared belief that durable businesses are built on sound fundamentals — disciplined planning, realistic capital structures and a clear understanding of risk. These are the same principles that underpin our advisory work.

By connecting academic research with practical experience in corporate finance, the collaboration aims to help founders and management teams build ventures that can withstand economic cycles and access capital on a considered basis.

We look forward to contributing to the Centre's work and to sharing insights that support resilient, well-prepared businesses.

Important information

General information for businesses and professional advisers; not directed at consumers or retail investors. This is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, regulatory or financial advice, or an offer, invitation or recommendation. Public availability and disclaimers do not determine regulatory status. Charter HCP Limited provides corporate-finance advice to undertakings on capital structure and transactions, transaction support, due diligence and introductions; it does not provide personal investment recommendations or retail financial advice. Charter HCP is not a lender, investor, underwriter or credit decision-maker unless the precise legal entity and role are expressly stated and lawfully permitted. Finance is subject to independent assessment, due diligence, documentation and market conditions and is never guaranteed. Taking on debt, granting security or giving a guarantee can place business assets and, where applicable, personal assets at risk. Obtain independent professional advice.

Discussing a transaction?

We advise, prepare, structure and introduce transactions across debt, equity and specialist capital.

Charter HCP Limited provides non-regulated corporate finance consultancy, transaction support, due diligence and introductions in relation to business transactions. In limited circumstances, and only where a transaction is for genuine business purposes and falls outside the scope of regulated financial services following appropriate legal and regulatory assessment, Charter HCP may use its own balance-sheet capital or warehouse line to lend to or invest directly in a business for its own account. It does not provide regulated financial, investment, mortgage or consumer-credit advice, does not accept deposits or manage third-party investor money, and does not operate an investment fund or collective investment scheme. Funding is subject to assessment, due diligence, valuation, credit approval and contract. No funding outcome is guaranteed.

Charter HCP is a separate business from Charter Lending (chcplending.com) and other group companies, each with distinct legal and regulatory responsibilities.

We may receive commissions that vary depending on the lender, product, or other permissible factors. The nature of any commission arrangement will be disclosed to you before you proceed.
