Notes de l'éditeur
- Run through the timetable
- fundamentally, a company exists as a pile of legal documents. a share certificate and the share register entry is really the only proof of a person’s ownership of a company’s equity. most company owners are understandably reluctant to sell any part of their shareholding because it will reduce their eventual capital return on their shareholding, and reduce their right to dividend income. many companies will prefer to fund growth through borrowings so that equity dilution can be avoided. however, in some circumstances it may be impossible to raise enough or indeed any debt, due to high risk levels as discussed earlier, for example where the company is early stage. in this case, equity will be the only option if the company needs funding to grow. the owners must therefore be prepared to suffer some dilution. the extent of dilution will depend on the funding required and the attractiveness of the business. sources - we won’t go into much detail on this – see seminar pack for more info vc - note that very few vcs now invest less than £2 million, however the regional funds including finance cornwall, finance south west and yfm south west ventures will invest £75k upwards (but ‘terminate’ on 31 december 2008) angels- dragon’s den is not a good example! mention swain how to find them - see pack other - but take care, and be aware of the fsma rules on financial promotion – criminal penalties outline the enterprise investment scheme (eis)
- Leveraging - i.e. more equity enables more debt without increasing the gearing too much – a bank may often match equity investment £ for £ Raising equity can take MUCH longer than debt
- The ability of a company to plan out its strategy and to provide sound arguments for the probable success of its business will be a key factor in establishing credibility with bankers and investors. Above all, the business plan must demonstrate the viability of the business, and be realistic. Preparing a good plan can be time-consuming. Considerable care should go into its preparation. However, it is time worth spending, as a well-presented plan will immediately create the right impression. Inform them that there is a detailed template in the pack Max 20-25 pages plus appendices Think about the audience and what to give emphasis to - growth and exit OR predictable cash flows and stability
