Development Capital

Businesses frequently reach a stage in their development where the introduction of outside capital (whether debt or equity) is necessary to take the business to its next growth phase.

Meta works with expanding companies to manage the introduction of external capital. Initially we will appraise the potential of the development to support external capital.

We will then work with the management of the business to build a business plan and associated projections that looks critically at the opportunity and possible funding structures. This plan needs to present the opportunity concisely to potential funders.

We introduce the management to potential funders and, thereafter, project manage negotiations with funders through to completion. As with all Meta transactions, our aim is to manage the project, allowing the management to manage the business.

It is sometimes difficult for owner-managed businesses to make appropriate arrangements when shareholders wish to retire. Meta helped us through this process, considering all the various opportunities available to the shareholders, once we had chosen our preferred route, ensured that we achieved the best funding package available.
