Investment and exit readiness

Get investor-ready, whatever happens next

Investors, lenders and buyers all ask the same questions. Are the numbers reliable? Is there a credible plan? What are the risks? If the answers take weeks to pull together, deals slow down or fall over.

We help founders get ready before the conversation starts, so the business stands up to scrutiny whether you are raising money, taking on debt or preparing to sell.

How we help

  • Clean-up of historic records in Xero and the balance sheet, so the numbers hold up to due diligence

  • Investor and lender models with clear, tested assumptions

  • Monthly reporting that shows investors the business is well run

  • EIS and SEIS advance assurance applications

  • EMI and CSOP share option schemes to attract and keep key people

  • Support through due diligence, working alongside your lawyers and other advisers

Tax-advantaged schemes

Read more about EIS and SEIS for raising investment, and EMI and CSOP share option schemes for rewarding key people.

Worth doing even if the deal changes

Not every raise or sale goes ahead as planned. The preparation still pays off: cleaner numbers, better reporting and a plan the whole team understands.

Senior support when it matters

For a raise or sale, our Fractional CFO support gives you a senior finance partner through the process, with our team doing the detailed work underneath.
