Venture Capital

The international credit contraction and stagnation of property values, due mainly to the international sub-prime lending problems, has increased the importance of funding by way of venture capital. The fall in favour of high-tech software and hardware investments by venture capitalists has resulted in the return of availability of equity finance, by way of venture capital, into traditional indigenous businesses. Our consultants have considerable experience in financing business through this method and have ongoing contact with the major providers of such funding.

Venture capital is the driver of management buy-in/out where the 'management' have the ability to successfully operate and develop the acquired company, but do not have the equity required to acquire and finance the acquired business. Skillful leverage on the business fixed assets, working capital assets, mezzanine finance and venture capital makes the aspiration of a management buy-in/out into a reality and the required short to medium growth requirement and management involvement of the venture capital adds significantly to the success of the project.

Our consultants provide a turnkey service from preparing the business plan to the venture capitalist, agreeing the terms of the investment, project management through the due diligence and legal process down to increasing additional working capital which is readily available from the clearing banks following the increase in the equity base.
