𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸/ 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸

Before you contact a single investor, it's worth being clear on three things.

What exactly is the money for? Not just how much, but what it will make possible.

What do your numbers say today? Cash, margins, spending, and whether your accounts hold up to outside scrutiny.

Who is the right investor? The one who funds businesses like yours, at your stage, in your region.

Sometimes the answers show a business is ready.

Sometimes they show the finances need work first, or that a loan or grant would suit better than selling equity.

If you're planning to raise funding in the next year and want a second opinion, send us a message.

Happy to talk it through.

What's the one part of raising money you'd most want advice on?

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻: 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

A lot of fundraising advice boils down to "pitch as many investors as you can".

We see it differently.

Every investor meeting takes time to prepare for, and every investor you meet forms an opinion of your company.

If they don't invest in your industry, your stage or your region, that meeting was unlikely to go anywhere, however well you pitched.

A smaller, carefully researched list usually beats a big one.

Know what each investor funds, how much they typically put in, and why your company fits what they're looking for.

Quality of conversations over quantity of meetings.

If you've raised money, how did you build your investor list?

𝟳-𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸

Thinking about raising investment in the next year? Run through this checklist first.

1. Do you have an up-to-date cash forecast for the next 13 weeks?

2. Do the numbers in your pitch deck match your accounts?

3. Is your ownership table (cap table) backed by signed documents?

4. Can you explain the key assumptions in your projections simply?

5. Do you understand your margins and customer economics well?

6. Are important contracts and IP agreements signed and easy to find?

7. Do you know what this funding round will help you achieve?

If more than two answers are "not yet", it's worth fixing those before approaching investors. It makes the whole process faster and far less stressful.

Which of these would take your business longest to sort out?

I𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 & 𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Getting a term sheet feels like the finish line.

For most companies it's closer to the start of the hardest stretch.

Due diligence is where investors and their lawyers check everything:
• Contracts, Share Ownership Records,
• Intellectual Property,
• Employment Agreements, and
• Whether the numbers in your pitch match your accounts.

Small gaps add up quickly.

An unsigned contract here, a cap table that doesn't quite reconcile there.

None of it is fatal, but every gap adds days, and long delays can cost a company its negotiating position.

The simplest fix is to build an organised data room early, before investors ask for it.

If you've been through due diligence, what surprised you most?

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

Many founders put most of their fundraising effort into the pitch deck.

Understandable, since it's the part everyone sees.

But the deck mostly gets you a meeting.

What happens next depends on the financial model behind it.

Serious investors will open it and test it.

Does revenue growth connect to how many salespeople you'll have?

Does the hiring plan match the costs?

Does the money you're raising actually get you somewhere meaningful?

A model built from real business drivers lets you answer those questions calmly, in the meeting, instead of "we'll get back to you".

If you've raised before, what question about your numbers caught you off guard?

25/09/2026

𝐀 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫: 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞?

If it's the third or fourth week, the numbers are mostly telling you what already happened.

Decisions about hiring, pricing and spending have been made by then.

Better reporting doesn't mean more reporting.

A good monthly pack can fit on a few pages:
• where cash stands and where it's heading,
• how revenue compared to plan and why,
• which products or customers actually make money, and
• a small set of KPIs the team can influence.

Getting those numbers inside the first ten working days is achievable for most growing businesses once reconciliations happen weekly rather than all at once at month-end.

When do your numbers usually arrive?

Curious how different businesses handle this.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣&𝗟.

Sales are up. The team is celebrating a record month. And somewhere in the background, the founder is moving money between accounts to make sure payroll clears on Friday.

Nothing is wrong with the business. The cash just hasn't arrived yet.

Say you sign three new enterprise customers on 60-day terms and hire two people to deliver the work. Your P&L improves the month you invoice. Your bank account won't see that money until you've paid those two salaries twice.

Growth eats cash before it produces any. Stock gets bought ahead of sales. Customers ask for longer payment terms as they get bigger. Sales Tax and VAT often fall due before the customer has paid you.

The businesses that handle this well aren't lucky. They have one habit:

𝘈 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 13-𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵, 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬. 𝘈 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦.

That low point is the number to watch!

Everything else is context.

If you run a growing business, do you know which week your cash balance will be at its lowest over the next three months?

Discipline isn't motivation.

It's a decision you make once — then defend daily.

Markets crash. Deadlines shift. Priorities change.

Discipline doesn't.

It's the one asset on your balance sheet that never gets impaired.

What discipline have you never broken?
