Fundraising

A company’s choice of funding will depend on a number of factors, including predictability of future cashflow, the desire to maintain ownership of equity and its growth requirements. Bank borrowing is ideal for businesses where future earnings can be forecast with some certainty. Higher risk situations are more suited to business angel funding, but this will dilute equity and carry an expectation from investors of higher returns.

Alternatively, one of your objectives may be to avoid equity dilution, and this will require cashflow from revenues to be reinvested. Whilst maintaining control of the company, it could result in a constraint of your growth potential.

Psi-ense will assist you to determine the best funding option for your business and will work with you to raise the required capital. This applies both to new businesses looking for seed capital, through to established companies with expansion plans.

We have built up a network of contacts covering venture capitalists, business angels and government sources of funding. Our involvement can include identification of potential investors, presentations and contract negotiation and in most cases, will be on a no-win, no fee basis

The raising of funds will always require a high quality business plan. Most companies will have put a plan together at the start of the business but this may need to be refined to meet investors’ expectations, particularly in the rigour of the financial models used. Psi-ense will pleased to either put together or refine business plans as required.
