a clearly defined funding need
Attracting funding becomes especially important when a company is preparing an investment programme, acquisition, refinancing or restructuring.
Typical situations include:
Ernest Partners analyses the company as a whole, not only the funding need.
We look at the financial situation, business plan, budget, cash flows and current context to understand why funding is needed, how much capital is required and which financing instruments may be suitable.
Based on this analysis, we help clients define their funding needs and identify suitable financing instruments and capital providers. We support the preparation and execution of the funding process, including the communication towards financiers.
The goal is to approach the right funding sources with a clear, credible and well-prepared financing request.
We work in three main phases: analysis, pitching and closing.
We start with a comprehensive analysis of the company. This includes its financial situation, existing debt, business plan, budget, cash flows and current context.
This allows us to define the funding need, assess suitable financing instruments and prepare the company for discussions with potential capital providers.
Based on this analysis, we also prepare the financial materials and financing presentation, including the company’s strategy, financial situation, funding needs, key business risks and the actions taken to mitigate them.
A well-prepared funding process improves access to appropriate funding sources under clearer and more balanced conditions.
The main results are:
Ernest Partners works side by side with clients throughout the process, from initial analysis to the final outcome.
