Capital Is Available. Being Ready for It Is the Work.
Lenders and investors do not reject businesses; they reject preparation. The loan file with optimistic numbers and no workings. The equity pitch with a cap table nobody can reconcile. The IPO ambition sitting on three years of unrestated financials. Our job in this practice is to make your business the one in the pile that is actually ready — and to stand behind the numbers when the questions come.
Fund Raising Support
Debt Raising. Bankable project reports, CMA data for working capital and term loans, financial projections lenders can interrogate, and support through sanction: query responses, compliance certificates and the documentation banks require before and after disbursement. We have prepared funding cases across manufacturing, real estate, hospitality, trading and services.
Equity and Investor Readiness. Investor-grade financial models, data-room preparation, historical clean-up of books and related-party positions, and the vendor-side diligence that finds problems before the investor’s team does. When the term sheet arrives, we work alongside your legal counsel on the financial representations you are about to sign.
Structuring the Raise. Debt versus equity, holding-company versus operating-company, promoter funding versus institutional money: the structure of a raise has tax and control consequences that outlive the money. We put the trade-offs in writing before you commit.
IPO Readiness and Listing Support
Readiness Assessment. A candid, fixed-scope review of where the company stands against listing requirements: financial reporting, internal financial controls, group structure, related-party hygiene, secretarial records and corporate governance. You receive a gap list with timelines, because getting listing-ready usually takes longer than the listing itself.
Pre-IPO Groundwork. Restated financial statements, accounting policy alignment, IFC documentation and testing, clean-up of inter-company balances and the audit trail a merchant banker’s diligence team will demand. We work as the company-side accountants who make the bankers’ and auditors’ work go smoothly.
SME and Main-Board Listings. For SME-platform aspirants in particular — where promoter teams are lean and this is usually their first capital-markets exercise — we act as the steady, partner-level hand through the process, coordinating with merchant bankers, peer reviewers and legal advisors so the promoters can keep running the business.
