Capital Solutions
A guided way to tell us what you are funding, how much you are seeking, and which structures you are considering. We review every enquiry, and we are clear about what we can and cannot say at this stage.
Work through four short steps. Nothing is sent to our team until you review a summary and select “Submit Funding Request”. You can change any answer before that point.
Your enquiry is recorded with a reference number and routed to our capital solutions team for review. We email you an acknowledgement of receipt, and we contact you if we need more detail or wish to discuss next steps.
Funding structures
These summaries are general information, not advice or a recommendation. The structure that suits a given situation depends on stage, cash flow, ownership, jurisdiction, and objectives.
You issue shares in your company to an investor in exchange for capital. The investor becomes a part-owner and shares in future value, profits, or sale proceeds. There is no obligation to repay the money, but your ownership is permanently reduced.
Typical considerations
Venture capital is equity investment from a professionally managed fund, usually provided in defined rounds as a company hits milestones. Venture investors generally look for large addressable markets, rapid growth, and a clear route to an eventual sale or listing.
Typical considerations
Angel investors are individuals who invest their own money, generally at an earlier stage and in smaller amounts than a venture fund. Alongside capital, many angels contribute industry experience, introductions, and hands-on support.
Typical considerations
You borrow a sum of money and repay it over an agreed period, with interest. Ownership is not diluted, but repayments are a contractual obligation regardless of how the business performs. Lenders may require security, guarantees, or covenants.
Typical considerations
A convertible note starts as a loan and is designed to convert into shares at a later event, usually the next priced funding round. It lets you raise capital without agreeing a valuation immediately, and typically carries interest plus a discount or valuation cap on conversion.
Typical considerations
A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) gives an investor the right to receive shares at a future financing round. Unlike a convertible note, it is not debt: there is normally no interest and no maturity date. SAFEs are quick to document but the eventual dilution depends on the terms agreed now.
Typical considerations
You receive capital upfront and repay it as an agreed percentage of monthly revenue until a fixed total is reached. Repayments flex with trading performance, which can suit businesses with predictable recurring income. Ownership is not diluted.
Typical considerations
Two or more parties combine capital, assets, or expertise in a shared undertaking and agree how control, costs, risks, and returns are divided. A joint venture may be a separate entity or a contractual arrangement.
Typical considerations
Capital is raised for a defined project and repaid primarily from the cash the project itself generates, with project assets as security. It is commonly used for infrastructure, energy, and large property developments, and normally requires detailed feasibility and contractual support.
Typical considerations
Funding request
