At Impact we have proven experience raising all forms of finance ranging from debt through to equity. This includes growth equity, full banking facilities, property finance, cash flow or leverage finance, invoice finance including ABL structures, and much more. Depending on the position your business is in and your needs or ambitions, we can support with raising growth finance, acquisition finance, working capital, restructuring or M&A finance. Whatever the nature or purpose of the funding you need, we can help.
At Impact we are here to listen and provide both consultancy and financial support. We will take the time to understand your business, your aspirations and your market drivers. We are not just an order taker, so we will listen to you, challenge and support you and offer guidance right along the deal journey. This can include initial thoughts on strategy and options, deal structuring and introducing specialist support, and any fundraising through to deal completion. If you have a desire to grow, complete an MBO / MBI, or sell or acquire assets, we are here to help and guide you.
What is the plan? Through our own extensive experience building teams and businesses, as well as supporting companies across the geographical and business spectrum, we can guide you, whether you are looking to expand, acquire, sell, maybe retire, or simply stabilise your business. We are able to bring in trusted partners to provide additional specialist support where necessary to help you achieve your ambitions, and we will offer strategic guidance to help you along your chosen path and ensure you reach your goal.
We believe in building strong working relationships with rapid, direct engagement and meticulous attention to detail. In practice, most of our clients are looking for support to raise funding, and our approach is always individually tailored:
We meet every client in person and visit your business to fully understand the proposition and accurately reflect this in our approach.
We work closely with clients to structure the most appropriate deal, ensuring every detail is robust and deliverable, with appropriate levels of headroom and flexibility.
We review all documentation and reports in meticulous detail to quickly identify and address any potential issues.
Based on our extensive knowledge of the financial markets and network of institutions and intermediaries, we agree a shortlist of the most appropriate partners to approach
A detailed proposal document is prepared for prospective funders, and we manage the entire process from initial approach to final negotiations, ultimately delivering best-fit funding options that meet our client’s specific needs and circumstances.
For bridging or short-term finance, we work with clients to explore future funding options for the end of the bridging period. This not only gives greater long-term certainty, but also enhances our approach to lenders, delivering greater visibility and comfort around exit and repayment options, invariably a key part of their overall risk appraisal.
Through our extensive network of contacts, we bring in additional professional expertise when required – for example quantity surveyors, valuers, insurance, accountancy, legal and restructuring support.
We always agree a clear fee structure in advance, from a simple fundraising process, to more in-depth involvement, supporting clients through the entire deal process.
