Shareholders seek to raise capital for a number of reasons, which may include:
- A partial sale – the shareholder releases some of their capital
- A buy-out of a shareholder
- Fund growth
- Acquisitions
- Recapitalisation
An early question to ask yourself is whether you are looking for public market equity or private equity. For most businesses, private equity will be a more effective, cheaper and appropriate solution. Whatever your needs, we will help match you up with funders who share your ambition and business philosophy. Our independent, unbiased advice will enable you to secure backing from the most appropriate financiers, who should add more than just cash; they should bring significant industry expertise which will help transform your business.
