Corporate and Business Finance & Growth Strategy
We’ll help you prepare for growth and identify the cash required to achieve it through several different funding solutions.
With extensive networks in the funding communities within the North West and further afield, we will be happy to discuss how we can help with your fundraising activities. Since launching in 2013, we have worked with clients to raise sums ranging from £20k to £5m from a range of sources including regional funds (debt & equity), business angels, grants and alternative forms of funders. Please contact us to discuss our commercial arrangements.
Venture Capital & Business Planning
99% of all business plans looking to raise equity finance end up in the bin. We’ll build plans and investment documentation that answers all the questions investors really ask while making sure your business is completely ready to withstand their scrutiny.
Financial Modeling
Businesses are often comfortable with crafting the words for their business plans but lack either the expertise or the time to perform the financial modelling. As chartered accountants with experience in the venture capital arena, we can help with the financial modelling needed to establish your funding requirements. These models can then be used within a suitable business plan for fundraising.
We’ll prepare fully integrated financial forecasts (P&L, B/Sheet and Cash Flow statement) which Banks, Investors and other financiers require for raising investment. These can also help board members and senior management forecast the cash requirement for their business.
Investment Process Guidance
Start-up level, early stages, scale-up ready, growth development, and expanding companies all require a unique approach when it comes to raising investment. We’ll guide you, whatever stage you’re at, by breaking everything down so you can understand exactly you and your business is about to go through.
Merger & Acquisitions (M&A)
We’ll help you minimise external deal costs, and free up management time so you can focus on
running the business, and help smooth integration post acquisition/disposal by involving the senior
management team through the process of M&A (Valuations, Due Diligence and Legals).
