Frequently asked questions

A financing memorandum is aimed more specifically at investors or financiers. It highlights your capital requirements, financial structure, risks and expected returns. Unlike a business plan, which looks more broadly at strategy, organisation and market position, a financing memorandum helps you receive the right financing proposals. In short, it is a sharp, professional document that positions your business well towards potential lenders.

With every phase of growth, acquisition or change in market conditions, it is wise to review your financing structure. Many entrepreneurs wait too long, causing them to face liquidity bottlenecks or restrictions on new investments. A periodic quick scan prevents surprises and ensures you remain flexible in responding to opportunities, with a financing mix that fits your strategy.

Finding the right investors is about more than just capital. You are looking for a party that understands your plans, collaborates with you and contributes to your growth ambition. We not only help you access private equity or venture capital, but also filter for a match in terms of vision, sector experience and commitment. This creates lasting partnerships instead of short-term capital injections, and that makes all the difference in the long run.
