23 What Investors are Looking for
24 What investors are looking for 1. Produce high quality beer 2. People who are embed in brewing, know the industry 3. People who understand how to reach and sell to customers 4. People who have done it before 5. People with strong values 6. People who embrace diversity and are flexible to change 7. People who will build a business that can scale 8. Understand how much funding is required. 9. What the funding is for and what are the milestones? 10. Likely future funding requirement and how do they get their money back
25 How to meet investor expectations 1. Answer all points on previous slide! 2. Write a detailed business plan covering these issues 3. Have monthly financial model backed up by detailed assumptions 4. Illustrate the returns to investors 5. Consider the tax implications of investment i.e. EIS, loans versus equity, structure of vehicle i.e. partnership v limited company 6. Consider tax issues within the business i.e. efficient use of capital allowances, R&D tax credits, VAT/duty etc.
26 The Fundraising Process
27 The fundraising process Stage 1 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 2 Stage 5 Business plan & financial forecasts List of funders to approach Gather due diligence documents Initial approaches to parties Initial offers received Assessing then Negotiate Offers Agree Heads of Terms with funders Due diligence - commercial, financial, legal Investment agreement and other legal documents Negotiation on terms of investment including price Final drafts of legal documents agreed Completion of funding Typically, 3 to 6 months
28 What to avoid when raising finance 1. Don t leave the fundraising process until the last minute 2. Don t over-egg the financial projections 3. Don t say our market is worth 800m and we will capture 10% 4. Don t say I want 1m for 1% of my business 5. Don t overstate the your product don t lose sight of the customer
29 The downside of raising money Dilution of your equity Less or loss of control Commercial and Personal restrictions Investments is typically exit focused? (Double edged sword) Onerous terms Security personal and business Fees - direct and indirect
30 The fundraising process Summary of key points 1. Have a strong set of financial projections, a business plan that has been challenged 2. Understand where your funding gap is 3. Start your fund raising process early 4. Go to your own bank first, then other banks then equity funders 5. Have a clear proposition of what you are going to do and then how you reach and sell to your customers 6. Will you retain as much equity as possible in light of the valuation? 7. Consider what terms in the investor agreement are reasonable, standard and can be negotiated in your favour 8. Keep running the business fundraising is a full time role.
