Reporting and Forecasting for Capital Financing

Most start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will have to look for financing at some point in the evolution of their business. This might be a cash infusion to support product development, or a temporary line of credit to finance a large order, or an expansion in your business.

When it comes time to do this, you need to be able to present potential investors with a compelling, but realistic picture of what your market looks like, and what the potential upside of an investment would be. You’ll also need to be able to prove that your business is healthy, and that you have sufficient orders and cash flow to make the risks manageable.

If you want a VC to invest in your start-up, you’ll need to provide a realistic assessment of what your cash flow looks like, and what the upside of their investment would be. Without this, you won’t attract any suitors.

We can help you gain the understanding of the state of your business that you’ll need to make a convincing presentation – whether you’re talking to venture capitalists officers. We can help you produce the reporting and projections you’ll need to support the financial side of your argument; and we can help you prepare the background evidence you’ll want to have on hand to support your argument when – not if – potential investors ask you hard questions about the future of your business.

With competent and professional financial reporting in hand, bank officers are more likely to take you seriously, and your VC pitch is much more likely to be successful.

If you’re an entrepreneur, and you’re thinking of starting a new business, you owe it to yourself to talk to us before you start spending money on your start-up.
