Funding Viewpoint- ‘tight but not insurmountable'

Credit availability or lack of it clearly has an impact on several business decisions. It triggers varied and often diverse thoughts for business owners and as such we are coming across situations that may fall into some of the following situations:

• A need to refinance due to current existing credit restrictions
• An opportunity to expand and take advantage of the current market conditions
• Wanting or planning to make an acquisition where price expectations have been falling
• Business owners looking for a full or partial exit

Despite the credit crunch there are funding sources and options available and we would be delighted to offer our thoughts on opportunities that fall into the above list. These are both traditional and more novel, but some of the other options worth considering are:

• Introducing some equity capital, private or institutional. Many providers are willing to consider debt and equity from‘one source'.
• Government schemes and grants. Explore the new and revised schemes available.
• consider involving the management team or another investing member of the business team

As part of the M3 teams experience we have worked in relevant finance and funding business providers such as commercial banking, asset based finance (debtors, stock, and plant), property, and venture capital firms. As such we know many sources to approach and who to go to for certain situations. We are therefore well placed to be able to understand, recommend and deliver debt and equity solutions to businesses.

We are keen to help
