Brief description of what we call 'corporate finance'
The term 'corporate finance' conjures up all sorts of images - city slickers in sharp suits, tough negotiators with scores of assistants scurrying around law firms, and expensive bills!
But to put it simply, this is what we call 'corporate finance'
- Fundraising & raising finance for your business, whether that's:
- for general working capital requirements - eg overdraft, invoice discounting
- to buy a new asset, property or another business eg term loan, HP/lease
- for expansion to develop another product or enter another market
- because you're sick of your existing bank or lender!
- Acquisition of another business, including some or all of assisting:
- to find and/or approach the target business
- to investigate the financial & commercial elements of the business
- to make introductions to other trusted professional advisors you may require
- to advise on valuation & to negotiate with the vendor
- to raise the finance you need to fund the deal, and run the business afterwards
- to integrate the business with your existing business
- Exit planning and selling your business
- have you really planned for your exit?
- who are you going to sell to & will it be for the most price?
- how are you going to protect your business & confidentiality during the sale
