Corporate Finance

Corporate finance for small business

When the term corporate finance gets mentioned many small businesses tend to think it doesn’t apply to them and that it only relates to big companies.

In fact, corporate finance is just an umbrella term which covers many different areas which can apply to a growing small business or one which has hit difficulties but still has great products, services, staff or perhaps intellectual property.

Types of SME corporate finance

  • Financial due diligence for transaction planning.
  • Applying for any kind of finance and considering the options, in terms of prospects, process, financial pros and cons, potential control issues and how to present your business in the best possible way when seeking finance.
  • Seeking private equity investment to enable your business to grow to the next level – the “Dragons Den” type scenario which gives a good indication of how tough any potential grilling can be. Where potential investors are interested in the product, service or proposition and reasonably satisfied with financial information provided, there will still be difficult negotiations re price, equity and control. Good corporate finance representation generally means people who are skilful and experienced negotiators.
  • Accessing government grants.
  • Mergers & Acquisitions 
  • Joint venture related advice.
  • Management buy-ins and buy-outs.
  • Exit planning.
  • To buy a new asset, property or another business e.g., term loan, HP/lease.
