Raising capital for a business

Our Corporate Finance team specialises in helping businesses raise finance to fuel their growth. Whether you’re looking to expand or restructure, we provide expert advice and tailored solutions to secure the funding you need to achieve your strategic goals.

Finance

If you’re looking to raise finance for growth or a transaction but want to avoid diluting your equity, consider debt finance. Lenders assess suitability based on your track record, ability to repay, and security offered. With various debt finance sources available, choosing the right lender is key. We understand lender criteria and can guide you through the process.

You’ll need a clear debt requirement, outlined in a Business Plan with financial projections. We can introduce you to suitable lenders and advise on securing debt or equity finance to support the acquisition and future growth, helping you identify the most suitable funding solutions. We also negotiate covenant terms on your behalf.

Equity Finance

If you’re looking to raise equity finance for business growth, it’s crucial to match the funding type to your business stage. Options include:

  • Seed funding: for startups and early stages, typically up to £250,000
  • Angel funding: for early to advanced businesses, usually between £250,000 and £2 million
  • Venture capital: for businesses with over £500,000 annual recurring revenue
  • Private equity: for high-growth or developed businesses seeking over £2 million

We can assist with business planning, investor introductions, shaping your pitch, advising on valuation and deal structure, and managing the transaction through to completion.
