Raising finance

To get off the ground or accelerate growth, businesses often need to raise finance. Whether you’re in the early stage of development or looking for capital to fund future growth, there are various routes to consider. Horsfield & Smith can help you navigate the options to secure the right kind of funding for your business needs.

Debt finance

One common method of raising finance is through debt, such as a bank loan. We assist with everything from creating a business plan to preparing financial reports and providing the collateral needed to convince lenders. Our team also helps you explore interest rate options and create a repayment strategy that aligns with your business goals.

Equity finance & investor support

If you’re seeking investment from external parties, equity funding might be the solution. Whether through venture capital, crowdfunding or angel investors, we help you prepare a pitch, assess investor offers and structure your business to maximise post-investment tax efficiency. Our tax planning services ensure that your funding arrangements are as tax-efficient as possible.

Balancing debt and equity

Securing funds may involve a mix of debt and equity finance. Finding the right balance ensures you have the capital for growth without over-leveraging your business. We can help you determine the best funding structure to maintain cash flow, minimise risk and support long-term financial health.

Compliant and streamlined solutions

With numerous funding options available, it’s crucial to ensure that your business is fully compliant with financial regulations. We streamline your accounting and compliance processes to ensure your financing structure is efficient and legally sound.
