Funding
We size the requirement, build the pack, run lenders and investors through a competitive process, then negotiate the documentation through to drawdown. You choose between offers that compare like for like.
Three questions before you go looking for money
A pack sent out before these are answered comes back with terms you did not choose.
How much, and what for?
The amount follows from the uses, not from instinct. Capital expenditure, working capital and fees are sized separately.
In what form?
Senior debt, private credit, equity, public funding. Each has its own cost, tenor, security package and effect on the cap table.
Does it service?
The forecast is tested under several cases. If the structure fails the downside case, it is reworked before it goes out.
Five stages, from scoping to drawdown
Scoping the requirement
Uses sized, amount fixed, funding instruments selected.
The pack
Financial model, information memorandum, cases and the documents lenders will ask for.
Competitive process
Approaches run in parallel, questions answered, indicative terms received in a single format.
Negotiation
Margin, tenor, grace period, security and covenants negotiated line by line.
Completion
Conditions precedent satisfied, documentation signed, the drawdown schedule tracked.
Four documents, reusable
The model and the information memorandum go on serving your board, your investors and your facility renewals.
The files are yours. They stay usable after the mandate, for a facility renewal or the next transaction.
Funding pack
Information memorandum, restated track record, sources and uses, proposed security.
Financial model
Profit and loss, cash flow and debt service, with upside, base and downside cases.
Offer comparison
Every proposal brought to one format, all-in cost and constraints included.
Negotiated documentation
Agreements reviewed with your advisers, covenants set against your own forecast.
What each missing condition costs you
Ready to go. Nothing left to prepare before opening the process.
Fees combine a fixed element at scoping and an element tied to completion. The detail is set out in the engagement letter before we start.
Yes, they are approached like the others. An existing relationship is an asset, provided it is tested against comparable offers.
Yes: financial plan, valuation, investor selection and negotiation of terms, with your legal advisers on the documentation.
We say so plainly rather than have you sign a bad deal. The pack stays usable, and the structure is reworked before we go out again.
Something to fund this year?
We scope the requirement and tell you what is fundable, in what form, and on what timetable.
