SPV formations tool for GP/LP co-investments in the UK

With Carta’s new UK SPV formations tool, you can form and close SPVs as GP/LP co-investments. Set up your UK SPV on Carta using a streamlined in-app flow with enhanced security and compliance checks.

What’s new?

Preparing lengthy legal documents, running rigorous identity checks, navigating limited banking options: forming an SPV in the UK is hard work. Carta streamlines the SPV process at every step, starting with a smooth setup experience.

With our new SPV formations tool, you can form a GP/LP SPV entity and close LPs quickly, efficiently and professionally. The GP/LP co-investment structure gives you control throughout the lifetime of the SPV, ensuring you have decision-making power while minimising the workload for your LPs. 

The tool includes:

  • An in-app formation process that guides Lead Partners through each step
  • Smooth in-app closing with subdocs and support for SPV investors
  • Bank account opening within 24 hours
  • A dedicated portal for investors to sign documents, fulfill capital calls and view documents
  • Comprehensive KYC/AML services for vetting SPV stakeholders and assessing investor identity risk

Who is this available for?

This unhosted SPV is available to regulated investors looking to form a GP/LP SPV in the UK. Current Carta customers can get started with their SPV formation in-app.

How do I use it?

Get started with your SPV formation in-app – reach out to Carta staff to request access, and we’ll share a direct link to the SPV formations page.

  1. Fill out the Engagement Letter request form, specifying which add-on products and services you require. Review your package summary, and submit.
  2. Complete KYC by submitting your Lead Partner identity information.
  3. Review and sign the Engagement Letter.
  4. Confirm your SPV entity name and share stakeholder contact information for the GP entity, Investment Manager and initial LP signatories.

  1. Set up your governing terms.
  2. Sign the LP Agreement and Investment Manager Agreement.
  3. Invite your investors to the SPV on Carta.

Anything else I need to know?
