Fundraising

Money is undeniably the lifeblood of every business. Companies, both public or private, regardless of the stage of maturity, will require funds for daily operations, expansion, investment, acquisition, debt reduction as well as to strengthen their capital bases and increase liquidity for themselves or their shareholders.

Deciding where to look for funds, how much is needed and how the funds should be obtained is only the beginning of a delicate process that must be handled carefully. Understanding what the funding sources want, knowing how they work, approaching the right person and getting the right attention requires the experience and knowledge of the inner workings of the financing business as well as a wealth of network. Being able to present and negotiate your case convincingly, structuring and closing a deal that benefits both the company and the financier in a timely manner requires experience, professionalism, commitment, time, discipline and creativity.

We are experienced in helping growing businesses raise various types of funds.

Methodology
Once we have a clear understanding of what drives your business and the objectives of your shareholders, we can assist you to develop an optimal capital and funding structure.

We will then put ourselves in the fund provider's shoes to ensure the capital structure and financing arrangement is sensible and workable. We will advise you on the appropriate funding amount and the sources of funds. We will help you to develop the appropriate strategies and assist in the negotiation process up to closure.

We will hand-hold you through the entire process and assist you to fulfil your funding needs while minimising financial risks and protecting the interests and wealth of your shareholders.
