British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association

British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association - or the BVCA - is the industry lobbying body for the private equity and venture capital industry in the UK.

Public Affairs News writes in 2008: "The private-equity industry is fighting back after a 2007 that saw companies facing unprecedented parliamentary and media scrutiny. It is looking to adopt a more ‘campaigning attitude’."
