Finance may be required to invest in working capital, fixed assets or development; all of which assist in the growth of a business.

However, in addition to this, you must also consider the source of finance, as there are various methods to bring cash into the business. Examples include equity investment; where shares in the business are sold to an investor (individual or corporate), and debt funding; through overdrafts, loans, stock and debt financing, and hire purchase agreements.

The reason for requiring finance has an impact on how and from where it is obtained. Therefore it is wise to appoint an experienced adviser to deal with the fund raising process, and consider the optimum package required by the individual business. This will ensure that the required level of funding is obtained on the best possible terms.

We are able to assist with:

• Advising on an appropriate finance solution, including the equity option
• An analysis of the funding requirement including working capital, capital expenditure and development capital
• Business planning and financial modelling
• Presentations to and negotiations with potential funders
• Advising on the affordability of debt packages
• Managing the legal and due diligence process
• Overall project management
