Debt financing and Equity Funding

Case Study 1 – Debt Financing

My client, a UK manufacturing business, wanted to increase its revenues by exporting to the USA.

The business needed to fund the cash flow requirements to manufacture the product, transport it, and then sell it and be paid, which was expected to take about 6 months. 

I worked closely with the senior management team to develop a fully integrated consolidated financial model, as well as liaising with the bank and UK Export Finance. The end result was that we secured a £4m export finance facility to support the sales growth of the business. 

Case Study 2 – Equity funding 

My client, was a UK online retail company. The owner of the business had used a substantial portion of their own funds to develop the product and the company needed further equity funding.

I worked with the company founder to create a business plan for an equity fund raise, as well as developing a 5 year fully integrated financial model to support the business plan. We presented this to investors, and I helped to negotiate the terms of the equity investment. 

We managed to secure over £1m of equity funding, on terms which avoided the founder having to substantially dilute their equity.
