External investment

Where the business is profitable and has great potential, but the critically limited resource for growth is cash, a significant method for achieving growth is to bring in external investors.

Whether you need funding to support organic expansion, for stock, working capital and product development, or you have opportunities to negotiate faster growth through acquisition, outside investment can be vital.

However, your business will need to be suitable to receive investment.  This means broad management and process capability, excellent planning and reporting.  We can help you get your business ready and gain investment by:

  • Helping you create and implement the internal development plan
  • Putting together the business plan, and investment case
  • Introducing you to appropriate investors be they angels, private equity, venture capital or other sources of growth funding
  • Helping you to present your proposals and handling investor due diligence
  • Helping you negotiate through the investment process
  • Maximise the value of your business for sale
