Early Stage and Growth Consultancy
Is your company in its infancy and experiencing the pains of early growth? West Capital Markets has
a team of experienced consultants who can assist you.
We start by making sure we understand your ambitions for growth and your strategy for achieving these ambitions,
challenging them where appropriate.
We have strong relationships with a full range of funders (Banks, Asset Financiers, Venture Capitalists etc)
who recognise our ability to support growing businesses with raising capital. We do the deals that others won’t do.
Together, we produce a rigorous Business Proposal to secure the funding you need. We will help to negotiate
the price of the funding, and make sure the assignment does not over burden you, leaving you free to get on with the most
important job – running your business.
Business Grooming and Exit Review
Disposing of a business at the right time and at the right price is an effective way of increasing shareholder
value. We believe that such a process should be part of a long-term strategy and we can help you maximise the effectiveness
of your disposal through:
-
Developing the exit strategy
Through WestCap's carefully tailored exit review product, we will work with you to identify the goals
you seek, objectively assess the exit options available and map out the most effective route to maximise shareholder value.
Unlike public companies, there is no such thing as the "right price" for a private business. You need to make
your business as attractive as possible to potential buyers, strengthening attractive features and improving areas that a
buyer might see as weak.
Through WestCap's unique business grooming service, we can recommend a range of techniques for making
these enhancements. Investing at an early stage in grooming your business can dramatically increase exit value.
Valuing any business is difficult and the price a buyer will pay is entirely dependent upon their own objectives.
For example, if your business can be successfully integrated to double a buyer's sales with little increase in costs, they
will clearly pay more than someone for whom the acquisition would remain a separate, stand-alone business.
You need to have the best possible idea of likely outcome and WestCap's corporate finance advisers will
be able to provide clear and accurate advice based upon experience of other transactions in that sector and knowledge of the
prevailing ‘market’ sentiment.
Once the exit strategy has been formulated and the business groomed for sale, West Capital Markets can
then assist in the disposal of the business.
