I'm in the process of starting up a new firm and it is likely that a small PLC will be bankrolling it - they will own a considerable amount of shares.

Before I got involved with the PLC I had a number of private investors wanting to be involved - would it be considered insider trading/dealing if they (the private investors) bought shares in this PLC on the basis that they believe my venture will result in a price increase in that PLCs shares?

thanks for that.

It's not public knowledge that the PLC may invest.

The business plan isn't complete yet - i've been working on it for two weeks and I'm about 50% of the way through it!

the private investors are interested in the concept rather than the details and I know most of them so it's me they're backing really. I didn't ask any of them to invest - they volunteered nor did I suggest that they buy shares in the PLC.

I doubt the accounts will show a huge increase this year but possibly next.

thanks again
