Whether you wish to expand your current business activities or start a new business, at some stage in your career you may need to obtain finance. We have been advising clients for years on all aspects of finance and ensure we keep up to date with the ever changing spectrum of options available.
Initially, we will recommend ways of using your current resources to their maximum potential; this may include altering your present financial arrangements. We will then plan how these may be best backed up by appropriate outside capital. Generally, business finance takes two forms: debt or equity.
In the case of debt, we will consider your entire circumstances to establish the most suitable source of the loan: family, friends, banks, other financial institutions or professional advisers. We have established excellent working relationships with various lenders and investors over the years and will negotiate on your behalf with them to obtain the best possible deal. If you are eligible for any Government grants or incentives, we will advise you accordingly and help you apply.
Should equity prove your best means of finance, we will advise on how best to sell a stake in your business. Such a sale can take many forms such as the admitting of a partner, or, if you are in a company, the issuing of additional shares, options or warrants to investors.
