Business Growth

 

Business Growth is a stage where the business reaches the point for expansion and seeks additional options to generate more profit. Business growth is a function of the business lifecycle, industry growth trends, and the owners desire for equity value creation.

Business growth capital is critical for all scale-up minded businesses.  Choosing the right business growth capital for your business takes expertise and market knowledge- as no two companies are the same.  Choose correctly, and your growth takes off.  Choose unwisely and it could be a disaster.  Rather than fit your capital need to a pre-existing structure, smart companies design their own structure to mitigate risk.  Business growth is a function of resource availability and often requires up front investment.  Whether an acquisition or business investment, it pays to be conservative in projecting returns over time. Choosing the right business growth capital comes down to the following variables:

  • The size of the capital raise.
  • The cost of capital
  • The flexibility of capital.
  • The term structure of capital.

These four variables must be optimized to arrive at the best business growth capital solution.  Most companies use an advisor to evaluate and source capital, due to the criticality of the job.  Each of these variables are solved with market intelligence and deal making expertise.  The end result is a business growth capital solution that satisfies your unique need, and allows your scale-up vision to take flight.
