Capital Raising Advisory

We prepare businesses to raise capital: the model, the information pack, the data room and the readiness to withstand the questions investors will actually ask. The work establishes how much is needed and when, fixes the issues diligence will otherwise uncover, and reviews terms for their long-term consequences rather than their headline valuation. Because we take no introduction or success fee, that terms review stays genuinely independent of whether the raise proceeds. It matters because the two things that most often derail a raise — information that will not reconcile and forecasts with no basis in delivered performance — are both fixable before the process starts and far harder to fix once it is under way.

In short

Capital raising advisory prepares a business and its information for equity or debt investors. We prepare and support; we are not a placement agent and take no introduction or success fees.

What we do

The work inside capital raising advisory.

Requirement and route analysis

We establish how much capital is genuinely needed, over what period, and which funding route fits the business and its stage. Raising too little stalls the plan; raising too much dilutes or over-gears it. Matching the amount and the route to the actual requirement is the foundation the rest of the process rests on.

Investor-ready information

We prepare the model, the data room and the information pack to the standard investors will test them against. Materials that look persuasive but do not reconcile cost credibility the moment diligence begins. Building them properly in advance is what keeps a promising conversation from stalling at the first hard question.

Diligence readiness

We find and fix the issues diligence will uncover before an investor uncovers them. An issue you raise and have addressed is a sign of competence; the same issue found by an investor is a reason to discount or withdraw. Doing this work early changes the tone of the entire process.

Process and terms support

We support the process and review terms for their long-term consequences rather than their headline valuation. Control, liquidation preferences and covenants frequently matter more over time than the number on the front page. Because our fee does not depend on the raise completing, that review stays on your side of the table.

How an engagement runs

Discover, assess, design, deliver.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the decision, the financial context, and how finance currently operates. We establish exactly what question the engagement must answer, so a business-case review and a process redesign are not confused with one another.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Review the case, processes, controls, and reporting against what the organisation needs to rely on. We report where the numbers and processes are dependable and where they rest on assumptions that will not hold under pressure.

  3. 03

    Design

    Set out the financial approach, process design, control set, and reporting model. Definitions, ownership, and controls are documented so the improvement does not depend on us remaining involved.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Support implementation, then track cost and benefit against what was approved. We measure realised value against the criteria agreed at the outset, so the decision is held to account rather than forgotten.
