New Venture Investment
Without Cygnet’s help my idea would be just that – still an idea.
They helped me to concentrate on what I do best whilst a team of experts supported me to build the business.
Now I am the owner of a successful international business.

Making it happen.
Through new venture investment Cygnet will invest in an individual with a great idea for a product to be manufactured predominantly from metals and plastics.
Cygnet is set up to truly incubate both the individual and the idea. By providing financial backing in the form of both a cash injection, but also services, Cygnet allows the individual to concentrate on the vision for their idea and the area where they can contribute most strongly. The individual is then supported by experts in other areas, whether technical, commercial, financial or administrative.
This combination of services gives the best opportunity to convert an idea into a profitable venture.
The wide range of services that Cygnet can offer to individuals, give the best opportunity for turning your ‘big idea’ into a commercially viable business. At Cygnet we believe that many great ideas fail commercially because the inventor is expected to already have the full range of business and technical skills to both start and grow a fledgling business. We know this is rarely the case, and by identifying and playing to the core strengths of the founding individual, Cygnet can support the areas where they are weak, thereby ensuring that focus is maintained and maximum benefit to the business is obtained from the inventor. This is achieved through the wide ranging skills and experiences, both technical and commercial, found within the Cygnet team.
If you have a ‘Big Idea’ please call us at Cygnet as would be delighted to talk with you.
Cygnet has extensive experience of doing business globally.
Initiating contacts in new territories, developing relationships and converting
these to ongoing profitable business requires a set of skills that have been
acquired and honed by Cygnet over the last twenty years. With
experience of dealing with the Far East, Middle East, North & South America,
Eastern & Western Europe, South Africa, Austrasia, the Pacific Rim and Indian
sub-continent makes us the ideal partner to develop a global business. 
To meet their own requirements Cygnet have developed and operate a
full enterprise content management (ECM) and manufacturing control
system. Able to control all aspects of your business, from initial contacts to daily correspondence,
through to quoting, job processing, shipping and after sales, along with the
standard financial features expected in a top rate package. With this
experience Cygnet can help you put control into your systems to allow you the
freedom to develop the business without worrying about the basics. 
The core area of Cygnet's competency is our engineering team. With
a wealth of experience from many different industry sectors, our diverse team
of mechanical, electrical, electronic and mechatronic engineers are
available for your benefit. With experience ranging from highly technical
systems operations and computer modelling to hands on prototype fabrication,
our engineers are ideally equipped to fill the needs of your business.
From our degree qualified members of the institute to our skilled fitters,
all our engineers share the common skill of being able to provide an
elegant, cost effective, functional solution to your engineering problems.
Experienced in metal fabrication, laser cutting, machining, casting, forging,
injection moulding, blow moulding and other more esoteric manufacturing
techniques, you can rely on our engineers to lead you to the optimal solution. 
Cygnet works on a policy of 100% sub-contract manufacturing. Mainly
in the UK but with some experience of manufacturing in China, Cygnet use a
network of sub-contractors to provide the latest in manufacturing
technology, bulk purchasing power and cutting edge expertise in their chosen field.
Many of these relationships have existed for over 30 years and allow a new
entrant access to information, prices and speed of manufacture that would
normally take many years to establish. The Cygnet Group's manufacturing
requirements ensure you get treated as an established customer with a good credit
history and track record, rather than as a start up to put at the back of
the queue with a proforma invoice. These relationships and experience allow our
partners to establish the best manufacturing methods for their
business plan, and significantly reduce the time to market of a new product.
