Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Norcity 11, a business expansion scheme property business, is the subject of an unusual takeover bid. Neill Clerk Capital has organised an offer from Norcity Residential Unit Trust which could work out at 104p a share. Accepting shareholdings can only redeem half their units; if they want to sell the rest in the first year they suffer a penalty. In effect they would get an average price equal to 83.98p against 97.5p in the market. Neill Clerk says the bid is the best way to provide the former BES shareholders with an exit near to asset value.

World Fluids plans to raise pounds 5m through a placing and open offer to buy a heavy equipment group and a fork lift hire firm. Talks continue to take over Peterhead Crane Co. The shares remains suspended.
