At GBMM, we specialise in helping businesses secure the equity finance they need to scale and succeed. Whether you’re an early-stage startup or a mature company seeking growth capital, we connect you with the right investors through our extensive network of angel investors, family offices, and institutions. From small raises to multi-million-pound opportunities, we guide you every step of the way to ensure your success.
Preparation is the Key to Success in equity financing. Investors look for well-prepared pitches that clearly outline the opportunity, and our team is here to help you deliver exactly that. With the support of qualified CFOs and a deep understanding of investor requirements, we work with you to develop financial models, pitch decks, and other essential materials to ensure your raise stands out.
How We Can Support Your Equity Raise
- A Wide Network of Investors:Our partners and providers have access to thousands of investors across a range of categories:
- Angel investors for smaller raises.
- Family offices for mid-sized opportunities.
- Institutional investors for larger, complex funding rounds.
Whatever your needs, we connect you with the right investors to align with your business objectives.
- Unique Solutions for Smaller Raises: For equity raises under £1m, we’ve partnered with a company in South Africa that offers a Dragon’s Den-style platform, putting you in front of up to 10 qualified angel investors within weeks. This is a fast, effective way to pitch your business and secure funding for your vision.
- Navigating the 2024 Market Shift: In 2024, the market changed significantly for equity financing, introducing paywalls for access to investors. Many brokers and introducers now require both an engagement fee and a success fee. At GBMM, we help you navigate these changes to minimise costs and identify the most cost-effective and successful options for raising equity finance. With the increase in worldwide interest rates (USA, UK, and Europe), many investors left the private equity space or changed to debt financing at eye-watering rates. Access to equity investors has never been harder in this toughened market place. At GBMM we can support you to educate you on the market conditions.
- Coaching for Success: If you’re new to equity financing or need extra guidance, or materials preparation, we offer pay-per-hour coaching led by a qualified CFO. Your first hour is free, and we’ll help you prepare to hone your pitch to attract the best investors.
- Support for Larger Raises: For larger raises, our in-house CFO, Terence Dullaghan, brings years of expertise to the table. He works with you to build a comprehensive package of financial models, pitch decks, and collateral that resonates with institutional and sophisticated investors, setting you up for success in even the most competitive funding rounds.
