Raising finance

Raising funds to help support your business' growth is fundamental to financing a transaction; and in light of the unprecedented economic environment we find ourselves in today, this is an ever increasing challenge for UK businesses.

We are experienced in helping management teams, corporates and private shareholders raise private equity and/or debt finance to support growth, release value or refinance.

Our teams will help guide you throughout the whole process, from identifying the most appropriate forms of finance, through to the final negotiations. We will:

  • Consider your requirements against our knowledge of the market
  • Test the strategy and business plan including an analysis of the funding requirement
  • Assist with the presentation of the opportunity to potential funders
  • Help with the preparation and presentation of the financial model for submission to funders including carrying out robust sensitivity analysis on the banking covenants.
  • Leverage our relationships with funders to gauge appetite and terms
  • Benchmark terms and pricing
  • Manage the due diligence process with funders to allow management to continue focusing on the day to day running of the business
