EU & UK market context
We track the moves that matter on this side of the Atlantic. Read continental and UK signals in plain terms.
❯ Finance & Investment
Money decisions, read through a European lens.
Most business finance writing assumes a US playbook. We do not. Club Business covers EU and UK markets, capital, and rules in plain language. The goal is simple. You leave with one clear next step, not a wall of jargon.
Editorial analysis for financially literate operators — not personal advice.
What we cover
Four threads run through every finance piece we publish. Each one is built for builders who want depth without the gatekeeping.
Valuation, plainly
Cash flow, multiples, and what a number really means. No finance degree needed to follow along.
Raising & deploying capital
From a first angel cheque to growth rounds and debt. We map the trade-offs at each stage.
Regulation & risk
EU rules shift fast. We flag what changes, why it matters, and the next step you should take.
Why the European lens matters
A funding rule in Berlin lands nothing like one in Boston. VAT, state aid, and listing rules shape what a smart move even looks like here. We build that context into the work.
That means less guesswork for you. You see the regulation, the market read, and the practical call in one place. It is the gap we set out to close.
Built for the full lifecycle. We track a company from idea to exit. One publication, one coherent thread across finance, strategy, and growth.
Practitioner depth. Our writers have built and funded real companies. You get the operator view, not a textbook chapter.
Cross-pillar coherence. Finance never sits in a silo here. It links to marketing and strategy, the way it does in a real business.
How we get to a take
Every finance story moves through the same three checks before it ships.
01
We read the primary source
Filings, central bank notes, and regulator text. Not a second-hand summary of a summary.
02
We test it against practice
Every claim meets the founder and operator view. Theory that fails in the field gets cut.
03
We write it for builders
Short sentences. Clear stakes. One action you can take this week. That is the whole brief.
Questions, answered
A few things readers ask before they subscribe.
Is this advice for my own portfolio?
No. We publish editorial analysis, not personal advice. Use it to ask better questions of your own adviser.
Do you cover more than the UK?
Yes. We write across the EU and UK. The lens is European first, with global context where it counts.
Who writes the finance coverage?
Practitioners who have built and funded companies. Founder bios and our method sit on the about page.
