Ethical Business Advisory
Services
04. Financing Readiness
Taking on new finance partners (e.g. loans, grants, private equity and venture capital)
Who is this service for? Shareholders/owners who are looking for additional financing (e.g loans, grants, private equity) or an exit strategy from their business (e.g. due to age).
​
When a business is seeking additional finance partners (e.g. loans, venture capital, private equity and/or grant funding) it is critical to prepare in advance (sometimes up to 3 years in advance) so as to be able to get the best possible deal (or earnings multiple). Do you know what funders or new financing partners look for? We help a business prepare for the rigorous requirements of finance partners as over the years we have researched the different types of funders and so we know what the funders typically look for and so can help.
​
We can help you impress investors with detailed Financial Models that forecast success.
​
Most funders or investors seeking a target will look at some of the following:
​
-
Business model - is this model scalable? Is it sustainable? Will it be disrupted in a few years?
-
Revenue sustainability - Is the revenue recurring or mainly nonrecurring/seasonal.
-
EBITDA - what is the EBITDA? Are there any adjustments that need to be considered?
-
Working capital - what is the "normal" level of working capital.
-
Audited Financial statements - are there 3 years of audited financial statements by a reputable firm?
-
Management team - what is their pedigree/quality.
-
Collateral. What collateral is available in the business?
This advisory service is similar to a "sell side financial due diligence" and comprises of a review of the business to evaluate how it might look to a potential funder/partner. Once the initial review is done, with potential red flags or areas for improvement identified, it then also involves helping a business in advance by putting together a "business plan" or "pitch deck" in a way that will make them suitable for acquisition or additional funding.
You can back up your financing request with a rigorous Business Feasibility Study.
​
Once the business is "finance ready" we then work with you to find you the most suitable funding, if not already identified. This could be say: a low-cost loan, a grant, a private equity/venture capital fund et al. We use our access to various databases including in the US to find you the right partner. We are assisted by experts and AI solutions.
