Raising Finance 

We advise companies on raising finance from: 

  • Private equity providers - for development capital, MBOs and partial sale of shares 

  • Banks and alternative debt providers – for M&A and refinancing 

  • Capital markets – by preparing companies for IPO and further share issues 

While the post-financial crisis landscape may present increased complexity in securing funding, unprepared businesses face significant challenges. These challenges include prolonged due diligence processes, increased costs, and severe management distractions arising from incomplete fundraising efforts. We assist companies in effectively presenting their investment proposition to potential funders, thereby instilling confidence and facilitating a smoother fundraising process. By preparing companies for investment, we minimize distractions and costs while empowering them to negotiate optimal funding terms and structures.
