Equity Finance
EQUITY FINANCE We work closely with specialist Companies who have Investor/Directors on their books.We do also have our own Investors.When we engage the services of the specialist Company,we arrange an initial interview when the client can ascertain his/her confidance in the organisation concerned.However,following this meeting it must be noted there may be be an initial fee to be paid to cover due diligence, once interest in principle has been offered.The client should take comfort that interest in principle has been given as this means there is every chance the funding will result.The reputation of that company is at stake once the fee has been paid and they will,therefore,not wish to fail.Failure will more likely to come about in these circumstances when due diligance results in wrong information being submitted.Hence the importance of the validity of the Business Plan/Financials.
When Equity is required by a client it will be usually under three different circumstances.
Firstly for expansion circumstances,secondly for companies in financial difficulties or thirdly in start up situations.
We will decide which funder to approach and recommend to our client. On a general basis where expansion or a start up is the requirement it is better for us to approach the provider who requires an upfront fee as the chances are a better deal can be negotiated,always supposing the client is able to afford this fee.Where a company is in financial difficulty or where a client cannot afford the up front fee, we are able to arrange an equity fund raising deal on a "no funding, no fee" basis but it should be understood the equity requirement will reflect the greater risk element and,therefore, it may be a larger amount of equity would be needed to be released.We will always do our best to see the client is guided to the best source. As shown above we would like to stress again the importance of a competant Business Plan and Financials.When presented there is one chance and errors,confusion or inaccuracies will immediately put off a prospective Investor.
If you refer to our Business Plan Services you will see we are able to assist in this regard.
With all equity deals, provided the client can show a satisfactory profitable future, then there is a good chance of success.However,as can be seen on Dragons Den, many are refused because of poor presentation or they just do not have the required potential.
