Many businesses with plans for future growth will need to seek additional funding. Deciding upon the right course can be difficult but seeking expert advice can make navigating the process much easier.
Whatever a business' goals, there are various ways to source the necessary finance, each with considerations to take into account:
Equity finance is the issue of new shares in exchange for a cash investment. Your business receives the required capital, and the investor will own a share of your company. They will therefore benefit from the success of your business.
Debt funding is a method for a business to raise capital through means of borrowing. This funding is often secured against a tangible asset and repaid at a later date, typically through regular payments with additional interest.
Businesses seeking growth capital often do so to finance a transformational event in their lifecycle, such as expanding operations or financing a significant acquisition without a change of control of the business.
