The Three Phases of Raising Capital for Our Clients
Believing there is a better way and to remain independent, Westwood Advisors raises capital using our own capital raising process that differs significantly from other investment bankers and capital brokers in keyways.
To achieve consistent results, we work in 3 phases to raise capital for our clients.
1.Develop Financial Strategy and Business Plan
We start each engagement by meeting with the client and understanding their business and strategy and funding requirements. Once we have done that, we help them create a financial and business plan that is an optimal fit. Once we have helped create the Financial and Business plan, and it is approved by the client, we share the plan informally with Institutions we believe will likely want to fund our client’s business. Our goal is to identify interested institutions early in the process. We have been able to quickly and cost effectively demonstrate to our client that we can deliver them interested funding sources.
2.Assess Institutional Capital to Raise Capital
Once we have successfully completed the financial strategy and planning phase, we then access Institutional Capital in a systematic and effective way. To do that, we finalize the Company’s Business plan, then share that business plan with Institutions that would have an interest in the Company.
This approach of Westwood Advisors has worked consistently well. Since commencing our fundraising business a few years ago, we have delivered optimal financing offers for our many clients.
3.Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis: Analyse, Adjust, Achieve
After funding is complete, we also look to help our clients achieve their ultimate goals. With their permission, we help them further use ‘finance’ not only to fund their initiatives but to also make better decisions and adjust their plans as their business and markets change.
By combining a simple, success fee approach to raise capital with our proven consulting process, we can consistently help clients raise capital with a level of quality and cost that is unmatched by other advisors.
