Services img Capital fundraising

For many successful companies, an injection of additional funding can significantly accelerate growth. According to the British Venture Capital Association, 90% of companies which have received private equity investment say that their businesses would have grown far less rapidly.

The most common reasons for a fundraising are:

  • To expand the business organically, with a new service or product line, expand a manufacturing facility or expand geographically;

  • To fund an acquisition;

  • To purchase the shares of a minority shareholder or allow a majority shareholder to partially exit the company.

If you think your business could use additional funds of £3 million or more, Succession Corporate Finance will:

  • Review the business and advise on the most appropriate type of funding from private equity, mezzanine funding and debt solutions such as cash flow lending, asset based financing and confidential invoice discounting. The right mix of funding is critical as you need to ensure the business can trade and grow effectively without giving too much away to the external funders.

  • Assist in the preparation of the business plan and financial model.

  • Present the plan to our extensive contact base with private equity houses and debt providers and other funders.

  • Negotiate the deal.

  • Project manage the whole process.

  • Development Capital - raising private equity or debt funding for an established, profitable business to accelerate its growth by providing capital to invest in its organic growth or perhaps to fund an aquisition.

  • Replacement Capital - raising funding for an established profitable business to allow an existing majority shareholder to partially exit the company or an existing minority shareholder to completely exit the business.

  • Seed Capital - fundraising, often from business angels for pre-revenue start up companies. Unfortunately we are unable to advise on this type of transaction.
