Raising finance for businesses

In this section

Helping you to raise finance to support the growth of your business.

Growing businesses may not always able to finance their plans for further growth or make acquisitions from internal cash flows alone.

Our team has worked with companies at a variety of different stages in the business life cycle looking to access funding to enable growth or to allow current shareholders to diversify their business risk. There is a wide range of financing options available and we focus on matching the right type of funding to meet the demands of the business and its owners.

Equity

Equity funding is a great way to raise the capital needed. We are able to utilise specialists advisors to guide companies through the complexities of equity finance raising, from company valuations, EIS (Enterprise Investment Schemes), assistance with business plans, preparing the required supporting documents and teasers, PE & VC introductions and crowdfunding.

Regional Growth Fund

We have numerous years of experience advising on successful funding applications across a number of sectors. With most areas in Kent included in a scheme, we have been able to support businesses in obtaining the finance they need to achieve growth.

From grants to interest-free loans and equity investment, the Regional Growth Fund is a great initiative to enable businesses to secure vital funding.

Debt

We work closely with the company owners to ensure that the financial structure of the business is closely aligned with the business strategy. It is only by achieving this match that the potential for the company can be achieved in a stable and unrestricted manner. There is a growing range of debt financing options available, so it is becoming more of a challenge for business owners to find the right package to suit their needs.

Our extensive network of debt and equity finance providers enable us to tailor the funding for individual circumstances and achieve an appropriate and cost-effective funding solution for our clients.
