Depending on the growth plan there may be a requirement for growth or acquisition capital.
This requirement can be presented to the company’s existing investors, bankers and/or new equity and debt providers as required. In the case where new capital is required Lecale CF works with the Company to prepare an information memorandum or such other investment communication as required to inform investors of the opportunity.
We manage all aspects of the fundraising process to include:
- Identification and introduction to the right potential funders;
- Supporting negotiations with potential funders;
- Liaising with existing shareholders;
- Coaching management in preparation for investor presentations; and
- Co-ordinating investor presentations and deal conclusion.
Our goal is to make the process as streamlined as possible, allowing an organisation to continue to focus on important operational matters.
We understand that historically restructuring has been associated with negative connotations.
However, we do not believe that this is necessarily justified in the current economic landscape. The fact that a business is capable of being restructured can be a positive sign. Often a business will need help with this restructuring process. Lecale CF offer a full cycle restructuring service ranging from analysis of the available options to the implementation and monitoring of the restructuring plan.
Restructuring can be a complex matter involving timely negotiations with creditors, debt providers, equity holders, staff representatives, customers, suppliers, landlords and new investors. Lecale CF takes a hands-on approach and has the experience to give stakeholders the confidence required to take a restructuring project through to a successful conclusion.
We provide IBR services for business owners and financial intuitions.
In situations where a business is underperforming, in distress or in crisis, Lecale CF provides Independent Business Review (IBR) services for business owners and financial intuitions. It is critical that distressed or underperforming businesses fully understand their current situation and evaluate all options. Similarly, lenders with significant exposure to potentially distressed businesses need to assess the recoverability of their debt. Lecale CF’s IBR service defines the financial and operational position for both parties and provides a clear evaluation of the options available. Our IBR service provides business owners and lenders with a credible, independent business strategy as they enter difficult negotiations.
The output from the review is a comprehensive and concise report containing real-time options and recommendations.
Key elements include:
- A consolidated picture of total debt exposure;
- An assessment of the short and medium-term cashflow implications;
- An integrated financial model for projections based on key business drivers and assumptions;
- An assessment of the strength and capability of management and actions required by management; and
- Recommendations on the best way forward for the company to consider.
Our goal is to make the process as streamlined as possible, allowing an organisation to continue to focus on important operational matters.
