When looking to raise finance or investment for your business there are a number of different options available including equity investment and debt finance.
When deciding whether to opt for debt or equity to finance your business growth or raise capital, you should think about your long-term business plan and goals. The type of funding or investment is likely to be dependent on the stage your business is currently at. Equity may be more suitable for scale up companies at earlier stages. Debt may be more suitable for more established businesses.
As a starting point, a well-presented, well-documented plan and pitch deck which includes clear financial information.
That's where we come in. Debt has more limitations as it depends on how much the business can afford to repay (we'll know this when we see the forecasts/financials).
Anywhere from 2 months to 6 months. It can take some time to find a suitable and interested investor or funder.
