Through close working relationships with finance sources we can advise on the right type of finance for you and offer advice on bank loans, hire purchase, leasing, venture capital and private investment sources.
Raising finance refers to the process of securing funds or capital from various sources to finance a business venture, project, or expansion. It involves obtaining financial resources that can be used to support the operations and growth of a company.
There are several common methods of raising finance for businesses, including:
Issuing equity: Selling shares of ownership in the company to investors.
Bank loans: Borrowing money from banks or financial institutions.
Venture capital: Obtaining investment from venture capital firms in exchange for equity.
Angel investors: Receiving funding from individual investors in return for ownership stakes.
Crowdfunding: Raising money from a large number of people through online platforms.
Startups with no financial track record can explore various options to raise finance, such as:
Angel investors: Convincing individual investors of the potential of their business idea.
Venture capital: Attracting venture capital firms interested in investing in early-stage startups.
Bootstrapping: Using personal savings or funds from friends and family to get started.
Crowdfunding: Utilising crowdfunding platforms to reach a broad audience of potential backers.
Investors consider various factors before deciding to invest in a company, including:
Business model and potential for growth.
Management team’s experience and track record.
Market size and competitive landscape.
Financial projections and past performance.
Exit strategy for investors to realise returns on their investment.
Let us introduce ourselves
Andrew Smart Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After 18 years in business, this is the best accountancy experience we've ever had. Just two months in, and Tom and Bradley have blown us away. Connolly's are not only accountants; they are business advisors with fantastic attention to detail, efficiency, and personality. Brilliant! Head Office Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We moved accountancy services to Connolly Accountants & Business Advisors at the start of this year and are only sorry that we didn't do it so sooner. The insight and expertise they have provided the business has been transformative in unlocking strategic and intentional growth. From a customer service standpoint, every interaction is professional, friendly, and responsive. On many occasions, the team have gone above and beyond to offer calls to explain things in more detail, or walk us through a process. I would highly recommend Connolly Accountants to any business interested in strategic commercial growth. Martin Stanford Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had a fantastic experience with Connolly's, especially with Miguel, who I've been working with since day one. Miguel has happily answered all of my questions, is very responsive to emails, and always ready for a call or meeting if needed. Connolly's helped me set up my limited company and have managed the accounts for the past 1.5 years. The entire team at Connolly's have been great. Highly recommended! michael walsh Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would highly recommend Connolly Accountants! Philip Flannery Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
