It is commonly known that raising funds through #privateequity has become harder. So what are the common mistakes we see ......... 1- Starting a raise when the business has only 6 months of cash left 2- Asking existing investors for funds when key milestones not achieved 3 - Delayed focus on revenue 4 - Not understand the due diligence So what can companies do ..... 1 - Calculate the R&D benefit in real time which can open up solutions like Sprk Capital 2 - Have a process to demonstrate to an investor you understand the HMRC risk and not 'we have always been fine' 3 - Be proactive with #grants, investors like to see the potential At FI Group we work in real time with our clients combining advisory for #researchanddevelopment tax and Grants to help accelerate technology to market and our approach has proven to be positive when raising through #privateequity Leave a comment on message me for a chat.

As a Business Rescue Practitioner, I often see companies wait too long to explore additional funding. While bootstrapping and careful financial management are crucial, sometimes external capital is essential for survival and business revitalisation. Here's when it's time to consider seeking funding: - When you can't self-fund the expansion to take advantage of scaling opportunities. - If you're struggling with cash flow. - When underfunded operations lead to inefficiencies. - If your current model isn't sustainable and you need funding to support re-strategising. Seeking funding early increases your options and gives you time for careful negotiation. A proactive approach can demonstrate a commitment to overcoming financial difficulties, attracting investors who believe in your company's future. #HappyLabourDay #letstalkmoney #funding #financialmanagement

Can you have investors self-certify they are accredited under REG D 506 C? No. The SEC requires the Issuer to obtain copies of bank statements, tax returns, letter from their CPA and attorney as well as other reasonable steps to verify they are accredited. Asking investors to sign a Subscription Agreement self-certifying they are accredited will not work. In addition, the Issuer must keep records of the verification process used for each investor. We have 18,000 accredited investors who have been independently verified as accredited. Our clients get access to these investors to jump start their capital raising process. We have done 60% of your work for you. This is NOT a list for sale. Email [email protected] for details. Discover your options when raising capital under REG D 506 C. We advise companies raising $10 million or more and where to find the money. How do you know your investors are really accredited?
