Raising Finance
The process of raising finance can be a difficult and stressful time for a business. All too often this is left and dealt with too late. The process can often be long and arduous and most companies fail to plan effectively for both the time to raise the funds or the management input required.
Ideally, a company should allow 6 –12 months to look for equity finance, however the ability to raise debt finance should be substantially quicker. The search for capital should not be a knee jerk reaction to unforeseen financial requirements. This lays a company and its management open to the risk of making decisions while under pressure.
Careful planning is required. Prior to a business plan being produced, management should focus on understanding their goals and objectives. A strategy document can then be prepared that outlines the key objectives of the business, its goals, together with a route map defining how management intends to move the company forward.
Our role is to work with ourclients to help define these goals and aspirations, and then develop and build a realistic business plan and model that is sustainable. The creation of a compelling argument is the essence of convincing an investor to invest in the business.
