Funding Options
Leverage your FP&A to be ready for all scenarios and opportunities, and ensure your business thrives and achieves its goals by providing on-demand access to capital on favourable terms.
Accessing capital on the right terms is critical to building and sustaining a successful business. Whether you’re acquiring another company, fueling organic growth, or raising funds through venture capital, the quality and structure of your financing can shape your long-term success. Securing adequate funding ensures you maintain control, protect cash flow, and align capital with your strategic objectives. It allows you to act on opportunities with confidence—expanding operations, innovating products, or entering new markets—while managing risk and optimising financial health for sustainable growth.
There are many ways to fund a business, each suited to different stages and goals. Revenue-based finance and growth working capital loans are fast and flexible options for established SMBs, DTC brands, or SaaS companies with consistent revenue, ideal for short-term growth. Business loans offer larger amounts but usually involve credit checks and, sometimes, collateral, with a moderate turnaround time. Equity funding—from pre-seed to Series A/B—is best for startups with high growth potential, though it takes longer due to investor due diligence. Invoice financing provides quick access to cash tied up in unpaid invoices, while crowdfunding (rewards or equity-based) helps raise capital from a broad audience in exchange for perks or ownership. The best option depends on your business stage, funding urgency, risk tolerance, and willingness to share equity or take on debt.
