Funding

Whether you are seeking start-up capital or expansion capital, Continuum is here to help.

Businesses are usually financed by equity, debt, grants or a combination.

• Equity can be profits that you retain in the business or new investment from family or friends. It can also be investment from external sources such as capital provided by professional investors, by individuals investing as ‘angels’, or an investment in your company by another business, (‘Corporate Venturing’).
• Debt can be bank lending or overdrafts or it can be asset-based, such as factoring and invoice discounting, hire purchase and leasing. Debt funding is usually secured against the assets of the business or guaranteed by the directors.

Grants may be available depending upon many factors such as geography and the nature of the business.

With our extensive contacts in the funding community ranging from our database of private investors through to venture capital companies, banks and corporate venturers, we are well placed to source funding solutions to meet your requirements. We have literally raised £ millions for various clients from a variety of sources.

We bring together entrepreneurs who want to raise funding and selected investors looking for worthwhile business proposals that have been vetted.
Entrepreneurs can find in us a partner as well as an adviser. We help them to shape their ideas, write their business plans and define their funding needs. We can assist in all the phases of the funding cycle, from the idea stage to implementation and even operation of the venture if required. Continuum can bring together the strategy, technology, financial and operational skills to demonstrate to funders that the company can deliver on its plan.

We ensure that our clients maximise the chances of funding and success by producing a strong and robust business model with a realistic and achievable profit time horizon.

Our extensive network of senior executives can be drawn on to provide you with potential non executive directors possessing relevant skills and experience. This can increase your chances of both funding and business success.

If you are in the position of looking for funding, we recognise that you probably don't have buckets of cash to spend on professional fees. We offer flexible solutions to suit your needs such as deferred or contingent fees or perhaps shares in place of cash. Your success is our success too!
