Financing
You want to grow, to expand your business operations through a takeover, or there is some other reason why your company needs financing. What are the options for corporate financing, and which ones best suit your plans? We offer independent financing advice for SMEs, directors and major shareholders and family businesses, for management participations and employee shareholdings. We understand your needs and those of everyone involved. Together with you, we’ll come up with the best solution for your financing issues.
Starting point for corporate financing
Our consultants focus on providing advice on all aspects of financing, including raising new loans, debt refinancing and balance sheet structuring and restructuring. Regardless of the type of funding you’ve chosen, a sound plan is always the starting point because all financiers want to know why you need the funding and whether your plan is viable.
What’s the best route to take for controlled growth?
Perhaps you want to grow your business, but you’re not quite sure how to go about it. Or maybe you’re looking for inspiration to help you make a decision that suits your business. Our ‘Controlled Growth’ roadmap gives you specific insights into the four main routes to take if you’re looking to manage the growth of your company.
What kinds of corporate financing are there?
The most common type of corporate financing is a facility at the bank. It could be a revolving credit facility or a loan. The funding could also be based on a government-guaranteed loan for SMEs or an investment from a private individual. Which kind of financing are you most comfortable with? During the first stage of the financing process, we will consult with you to examine which is the best and most feasible situation for you.
What does the financing process involve?
Getting funding doesn’t happen overnight. Sound advice, a large network and assistance with organising the documentation, like a financing memorandum, can facilitate this process. These are precisely the matters that Baker Tilly Corporate Finance can help you with.
We examine your organisation and your financing needs to understand which types of financing and institutions are the best ones for you. We have a wide network of contacts in banks, private equity and mixed finance, so we can find and approach the right organisation for you. Our financing specialists, with years of experience in banking and financing, can also support you when negotiating the terms and the costs.
You’ve got the funding. What now?
After the funds have been successfully secured, financiers often want to see periodic reports on developments at the company and its operating results. Because we know what the various financiers are looking for in this respect, we can support you throughout the term of the financing.
