SpinOuts

Sometimes the best route to market for your ideas is to form a new company.

Both the University and the founders take an equity stake in the spinout, and there is also potential for royalty income.

Launching a spinout is a good route if the IP is a platform technology – requiring both technical and market development – or if no existing companies are willing or able to develop the IP.

We can help you to

  • Build an investable business plan and management team
  • Source investment
  • Negotiate the commercial and IP terms of the deal

Please also review the SpinOut Policy which is available on the Legal Services website. You will need your University username and password to log in and access the documents.
