Investment readiness and capital raising

To successfully raise capital — whether equity, debt or government grants — a business must be “investment ready”. This covers a broad range of capabilities that revolve around the market opportunity, the business model and unique selling proposition to realise that opportunity, the competitive advantages of the business and its corporate structure and, not least, the people in the business who will govern, lead and manage it to success.

We have long and direct experience at Board, CEO and management levels across a range of private and public organisations. We have significant investor and investee experience having successfully prepared companies for capital raisings, including private equity and large government grants, as well as managing investments in projects and companies. As required, we can be a part of the investee’s team at Board, CEO or management levels to strengthen the selling proposition to investors, or a part of the investor’s team to evaluate investment prospects. Examples of our investment readiness and capital raising assignments include:

  • Evaluating proposals and providing workshop facilitation for development of a second-round proposal for a national Cooperative Research Centre.

  • Participating in development of the business plan and subsequent Information Memorandum for an early-stage technology company seeking to raise equity to enable it to bring to market its novel energy storage technology.

  • Being a member of an Advisory Committee for an international venture capital firm seeking to establish an Australian presence and investment fund.

  • Presenting at and participating in an Australian Venture Capital Association workshop for CEOs of entrepreneurial companies.
