Are you ready to start growing your business and looking to raise the necessary finance? Searching for advice on the best kind of funding and where you can access it?

Raising finance is a vital chapter in your business story – that investment is the key to expansion, long-term financial stability and a secure future for the business.

We can help you to raise the finance you need

For many small businesses, accessing finance has become a challenge since the recession. Banks are less willing to lend and investors are more wary, so finding the capital you need to deliver your growth plans can be a tricky process.

But there are ways to improve your chances of getting the right financial assistance. You’re far more likely to impress a potential investor if you’ve got a well planned, carefully managed approach to your finances.

This can include:

• Managing your cash flow effectively.
• Having a strong Balance Sheet.
• Being driven by an experienced management team.
• Having a good track record over the course of business journey.
• Providing a well-planned and realistic business plan.
• Demonstrating the future of the business with robust forecasts.
