The preparation phase consumes cash before any proceeds arrive. Audit fees, legal fees, restructuring costs and additional finance headcount all fall due while the company is still private.
We help management build a realistic funding plan for that period, identify the options available — shareholder funding, bank facilities, or investment from private investors — and prepare the material an investor or lender will ask for.
Where third-party capital is involved, the offering itself is arranged and executed by appropriately licensed parties.
What we deliver
- Funding requirement modelled through to listing
- Review of available funding options and their implications
- Preparation of the information package for lenders or investors
- Support through the diligence and documentation process
- Coordination with licensed intermediaries where required
