CORPORATE FINANCE
We help clients gain access to new markets on international level creating sustainable growth ensuring our clients have the advice they need to succeed.
This may be in providing assistance at any stage from concept or business planning through advising on strategy and structuring the most effective and bankable project to actually raising debt, equity and other aspects of the financing package.
Our approach is a very practical one, based on real experience of what works and how to make things happen. Our experience allows us to approach potential problems from different angles and to find innovative solutions.
We offer a very personalised service and start with the premise that we wish to develop ongoing, long term relationships with our clients and this ensures high quality but at a very competitive cost.
We will also be honest about your project and we will only accept mandates for assignments that we consider are commercially viable.
Our services include:
We recognise the particular challenges facing businesses today in terms of accessing finance to fund their future plans, whether traditional bank funding or from providers of equity. One source that is often overlooked is the availability of grant funding. Grant funding, from a variety of providers, will often provide the missing link in terms of a company achieving its future plans.
Our specialist grants team has many years’ experience of advising on numerous successful grant applications in a variety of sectors. The team has worked on a wide range of grant applications across the whole business spectrum from start-ups, to local companies seeking to expand, to subsidiaries of multi-national businesses either creating or safeguarding employment but facing competition from other companies within the group. Members of the team also sit on various grant appraisal panels, so therefore have a complete understanding of many grant schemes.
Our role is to work with businesses such as yours to develop the business plan and supporting information to ensure your grant application meets the grant scheme’s parameters, and to advise and support you throughout the grant application process.
In summary, we:
- Aim to maximise your chances of a successful grant application
- Manage your expectations by addressing the key issues at the start
- Assist with all aspects of the application process
- Provide hands on help and advice
