Your Financial Goals,
Is Our Expertise
You might recognise some of these challenges:
- Many SMEs are start-up businesses or in early stages.
- Despite a great business plan, your company might lack the required track record of cash flows or profitability.
- Due to continued capital investment by the operator or shareholders, building a strong capital base during this time can be challenging.
- The pricing of debt could be exorbitant. In several instances, despite being securitized to some extent, it may still be priced as an unsecured facility.
- The type and size of security required could be extremely onerous, and the liquidity required in this regard unrealistic given the age/stage of the business.
- Regardless of how good the business plan is, the quality and skill of management, and the scaling possibilities, many investors will remain sceptical, and their expectations will be unrealistic in the view of the operators/owners.
Investing is commonly viewed through the lens of financial choices, a perspective I certainly appreciate. After all, my career has revolved around fostering growth by nurturing potential-rich individuals, prospects, and enterprises through strategic investments. However, investment isn’t solely a fiscal decision; it’s deeply intertwined with people.
While I hold a strong belief in the potency of thriving businesses, I equally champion the influence of exceptional individuals and robust management teams. When these forces synergise to benefit all stakeholders, genuine transformation takes place. This is precisely why I am so enthusiastic about my vocation.
Practical obstacles for SME owners and/or operators normally include the following:
- Time constraints of the management team as they have to take care of day-to-day operations and business.
- The lack of capital markets experience in:
- Sourcing the right investors (incl. funders).
- Preparing the relevant marketing materials and presentations.
- Dealing and managing prospective investors through the due diligence processes.
- Negotiation of pricing and other aspects of the term sheet.
- Ensuring post-deal reporting requirements and covenants are not overly cumbersome.
- The urgency to obtain debt or equity investments are seldomly aligned with the lengthy processes of perspective investors.
