Raising Finance for Growth

There are now more ways than ever to secure funding to support business growth – banks aren’t the only choice.
The sources and types of finance have grown more numerous, complex and bewildering over the years and there is no sign that the market is going to get simpler any time soon.
Finance is available from grant providers, equity investors, peer-to-peer lenders, crowd funders, regional investment funds, sector specialists and mezzanine finance providers. To make matters even more complicated it is often the case that the aspirations of an owner-management team with a growth funding proposal is met by a mix (or blend) of more than one of these types of finance.
Fear not; it is our job to know the sources of funding available, what they like and what they are less keen on, to advise entrepreneurs on the options available, to help to put together the optimum blend of finance and to work together with the management team to approach the funding market.
We are with our clients every step of the way and can help to prepare the reports, business plans and financial forecast models that the funders will require to support the application.
