Summary
AE Ventures Fund III LP wants to invest in All.Space Networks Limited to help it grow in the U.S., but there’s a twist: some related companies already own a big chunk of All.Space, creating a conflict of interest. They’re asking for a special okay to make this deal happen. People have 15 days from December 18, 2025, to share their thoughts before the final decision.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
SBA Exemption Requested to Fund UK Small Business
AE Ventures Fund III LP has asked the Small Business Administration for an exemption under Section 312 and 13 CFR 107.730 so it can provide financing to All.Space Networks Limited (address: Unit 2-6, 64 Portman Road, Reading, Berkshire RG30 1EA, United Kingdom) to support the company's growth in the United States. The filing notes that AE Industrial HorizonX funds (Associates) already own more than ten percent of All.Space; the public may submit written comments within fifteen days of December 18, 2025.
>10% Ownership Triggers Conflict-of-Interest Rule
The notice states that, under 13 CFR 107.730(a), this financing is considered a conflict of interest because AE Industrial HorizonX Venture Fund I, Co-Investment Fund I, and Structured Solutions I (Associates) own more than ten percent of All.Space Networks Limited and are Associates by common control. Because of that determination, the licensee has sought an exemption under Section 312 of the Small Business Investment Act.
