Founder’s Message
Equity funding is a complete contrast to bank loans. It is available based on the merit and potential of the business and not the current financial situation on ownership sharing basis. It is available in as much quantity and for as much term as needed. There is no requirement of any security or guarantee. There is no any guaranteed return like interest to be paid the investor. There is no need to pay the initial investment back. However, the financial, corporate & strategic experience of an equity investor can come handy for a business. This looks simply amazing! Isn’t it? Let’s see why it is relatively so uncommon.
Why Equity Funding is Beyond Reach for SMEs?:
Investors look for the companies which are systematically organised & professionally run. They look for a clear business strategy to achieve growth, generate wealth & manage risks. They look for professional corporate management in terms of legal form, constitutional documents, stakeholder agreements, etc. They also look financing strategy to maximize returns of investment. Equity investors need a lot of documentation to assess the authenticity and the potential of growth which SMEs fail to provide as the documentation is absent in first place or they cannot compile it. This documentation in M&A is many times the one required by the banks. Also, SMEs mistake poorly connected brokers for M&A consultants or investment banks. They fail to bring on board any serious investor.
This is where Apohan comes to your assistance with its end-to-end, customised equity funding advisory and implementation services.
