PRIVATE CAPITAL RAISING

With experience in all areas of private capital raising, we can help you access the capital your business needs to grow. We can advise you on receiving investment from private equity, venture capital, angel or family office sources and can also assist you with the issuance of private retail mini bonds. If you are a small enterprise, we can help you raise early-stage funding, including through the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), and also guide you through the crowdfunding process.
