The key to raising finance is identifying the most appropriate source which can provide the right amount of money, at the right price.

Clients who are seeking new investor capital are able to benefit from MGCF's contacts within the financial community both in the UK and the USA. Coupled with extensive research facilities and knowledge of potential investors' sectors of interest, this leads to the optimal match between investor and investee.

MCGF provides advice, expertise and market knowledge in:

• estimating the amount of capital funding required
  When restructuring it is a common mistake to underestimate the amount of capital required or the timescales to positive cashflow. Investors know this and will want robust projections which mirror the likely outcomes, but also recognise the impact of slippage in the plan.
• negotiating and structuring the deal appropriately
  Negotiating beneficial terms requires experience and market knowledge in how best to structure the deal, so that the business has the opportunity to make best use of the capital, and the investors receive an acceptable return for the risk.
• ensuring there is an appropriate match between the company and its investor
  The type of funding should be consistent with the needs of the business to result in a workable gearing position. For example, if the business has long-term funding requirements it would make sense to develop a relationship with an investor who can provide a long-term funding solution. This is an area often overlooked in the haste to secure a funding agreement.
