We understand the needs of commercial agri-business and the risks involved in early-stage development. We help organizations develop their business plans and locate the right types of finance. This service includes helping investee companies think about their capital requirements strategically, assisting them to become ‘investment ready’ in order to raise capital quicker, on most appropriate terms, with the most appropriate structure and from investors best matched with them.
How we help
Fundraising
We have an extensive network of funding sources, including private equity, impact and developmental investors who can invest a combination of equity, debt and grant funding. Whether you need specialist advice to start a fundraising programme or whether you require hands-on help, our team can provide support, either in the form of a short term assignment, or as ongoing help.
For Investee Companies:
- Building a fundraising plan and documentation (business plans, teasers and investment presentations, financial models)
- Identifying, applying and managing equity, debt, and grant funding
- Preparing for due diligence, including structuring a data room
- Reviewing terms sheets and progressing an investor to completion
How we help
Investment Readiness
Companies need to put their best foot forward if they wish to fundraise and to expand by attracting equity capital rather than bank debt. An integral part of driving such investment within the agricultural sector is ensuring that you identify suitable projects and making sure these projects are investment ready.
For Investees:
- Develop business plans, cash flow modelling and information memorandums
For Investors:
- Provide credible opportunities for investors that are “investment ready” and that meet key investment and due diligence requirements
