Our fundraising strategy consulting services are tailored for a wide range of businesses, from early-stage startups seeking seed funding to established companies looking for growth capital.

The fundraising timeline varies depending on several factors including the amount being raised, the company's growth stage, market conditions, and investor interest. Generally, a full fundraising cycle from preparation to closing can take 3-6 months. Early-stage funding might be secured faster (2-3 months), while larger growth rounds can take 6+ months. We work with clients to establish realistic timelines and manage expectations throughout the process.

Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (CCDs) are debt instruments that must convert to equity after a specified period, providing investors with interest until conversion. Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) are preference shares that convert to equity shares at predetermined terms, often offering dividend preferences before conversion. CCDs are recorded as debt on the balance sheet until conversion, while CCPS are recorded as equity. Each has different implications for control, dilution, and investor documentation, which we analyze based on your specific fundraising goals.
