Entrepreneurial business

During their life cycle businesses require funding for various phases or stages of growth. The dynamics and approach to securing investors is complex and varies according to the maturity of your business, from seed funding and start-up, through early to late-stage equity rounds, to public offering or private funding.

Whatever the stage, many businesses struggle to identify the right place to look for investment, as well as how to prepare and put together the proposal. Often entrepreneurs are consumed with establishing or progressing their idea, with little time to attend to the critical factors that will make the application successful. Few have the resources to employ qualified CFOs or management consultants to manage the financial side of their businesses and give advice about business growth.

Yet the funders who they approach to finance development require business plans, along with credible financial and management reports that demonstrate realistic performance forecasts. And, critically, these forecasts must provide reassurance, via compliant reports, that the requested investments will be well spent and deliver decent returns.
