Our typical approach to fundraising will include:
analysing your business to understand its funding needs for today and in the foreseeable future by understanding the requirements for growth;
working with management to develop a business plan, integrated financial model and presentation to potential funders;
carrying out robust sensitivity analysis on the banking convenants;
presenting the options available to shareholders and management, comparing the costs and advantages of different debt and equity funding and assessing the likely success of a fundraise;
preparing a short-list of potential funders who we believe would be interested and securing initial terms sheets from them;
approaching the funders and negotiating detailed terms and documentation on your behalf;
helping you to prepare for and accompanying you to the meetings with funders;
managing the funders’ due diligence to minimise the disruption to your business; and
advising on the commercial aspects of the legal documentation and where relevant, debt covenants and shareholders’ agreement terms.
