It is vital to be prepared if embarking on a sale process.  Similar principles apply to both full business disposals and raising equity investment capital; both external parties need to 'buy-in' to the opportunity.

Corporate buyers and equity investors will have differing diligence focus areas, but both will expect to validate upside and risks in the Seller's business plan, to support their investment cases.

For debt funding, lenders and their credit panels, understandably, adopt a more conservative outlook on future business performance; the emphasis shifts to 'serviceability' and ‘downside’ protection measures.

Finmatix can support and work alongside you to prepare for such projects with a balanced and independent approach, recognising the desire to protect value with the experience of understanding the requirements of purchasers and/or funders.
