Raising Finance

Spencer Partners focuses on assisting owner-managed companies to raise expansion capital, generally in the form of equity finance, of £1million to £10million investment value.

Raising equity finance at any level is not for the faint-hearted and can be a difficult and time-consuming process. For companies wishing to raise £1 million to £10 million the process is particularly fraught, with only 2% of applicant companies successfully concluding a venture funding deal.

The right adviser can considerably improve the chances of success and can help manage the process to minimise disruption to the business. Spencer Partners, by concentrating on this ‘equity gap’ level of the market has built relationships with specialist fund providers who are active in this market sector. We have taken the time to understand their key investment criteria and have developed a streamlined marketing process to maximise chances of success.

The appropriate source of funds and process will vary from case to case. The sections to the left, however, aim to provide some general guidance and observations on issues that are generally relevant when raising equity funding.*
