Fundraising
FinConsulting arranges raising funds for both existing and newly established companies, adapting the financing structure to the company’s financial position, operating results, project specifics and available collateral.
We deal with bank financing, private capital and EU support instruments, combining them into an optimal financing model. Each project is treated individually, focusing on cost of capital, risk allocation and bankability.
We prepare business plans, financial forecasts and documentation that meets financier requirements, and, at the client’s request, represent the client in communication with financiers until transaction closing.
A specialist consultation on financing options for a specific project is free of charge.
Work with Banks
Bank financing is an important tool for business development while maintaining shareholding structure and decision-making control. It is used for investment projects (capital expenditures), working capital financing, trade operations, and business acquisitions.
Due to strict supervision requirements in the EU banking sector, bankability largely depends on business plan quality, sound financial forecasts and deal structure.
Depending on project specifics and collateral, bank financing may reach 70–80% of total investment. EU funds often serve as an additional risk-mitigation instrument.
We cooperate with several active credit institutions. A project rejection does not always mean financing is impossible – often it is a matter of deal structure and documentation quality.
If needed, we provide representation in communication with credit institutions on behalf of the client.
Private Investments
Private capital includes loans and equity investments from private investors, business angels, venture capital funds and crowdfunding service providers (platforms).
These instruments are used in higher-risk, growth or bridge-financing situations, as well as when bank financing is unavailable or insufficient.
Venture capital funds invest in equity, becoming co-owners, and focus on high-growth projects. Their involvement often includes strategic participation in company development and value creation during the investment period.
Depending on the platform model, crowdfunding allows raising funds either as loans from multiple investors or as equity investments in the company.
We support project viability assessment, market justification, business plan preparation, deal structuring and investor communication until closing.
EU Structural Funds
EU structural funds are used as a tool for optimizing financing structures and reducing risk.
We assess project eligibility for programs, in cooperation with partners prepare application documentation and financial calculations and provide support in project administration and financial monitoring.
In many programs, support is provided in the form of grants – non-repayable funding that reduces the company’s own investment burden.
EU support often improves the ability to attract bank and investor financing by reducing capital pressure on the company.
