Fundraising case study

Our training provider client needed debt support to enable both a move in premises and additional working capital. A large site with multiple properties had been located, but with mixed use needs and necessary development the deal did not meet standard lending criteria. Multiple linked companies also made it difficult to prove true operational cash flow to funders. 

Task

Delphine was engaged to assess the cash flows of the business, so the right sum could be financed, and source the most competitive deal in respect of lending term, pricing and security.

Action

Delphine analysed cash flows, ran sensitivities and determined the most appropriate lending structure. She then shortlisted appropriate funders from her wide network and communicated the deal. This was done through a comprehensive information pack, ensuring clarity of affordability and covenant headroom.

Outcome

A £2M deal was agreed, with the client saving considerable time and money, meeting and choosing between just two lenders that would meet their needs and have a good relationship fit. Delphine negotiated the most competitive terms and assisted through to drawdown so the business could focus on their growth plans.
