Financing Support
Does your company require additional capital to grow that cannot come from your personal assets or immediate cashflow? Then, chances are, your company may require one of more rounds of financing. Whether it is assisting you to structure your seed round, Series A round, or beyond, JMD Consulting Group can help. JMD Consulting Group is skilled at preparing companies to meet their financing goals. Just as food must be prepared in advance before a top chef can cook, so must a company prepare itself for financing. Before your company raises one dollar, it must first get prepared for that round.
In this "preparation phase", we would look at your current entity structure, and ask, is this the correct structure for your needs? Is it capitalized correctly? Does it have too much irrelevant history? Should it be freshened up? These are all questions that need to be answered. JMD Consulting Group can help you determine the correct vehicle for your needs and help you to structure it appropriately. Once that entity is formed, we can then begin working on your projections. Since business involves the growth of money, projections are the right place to start. JMD Consulting Group is very skilled at planning, designing, and building spreadsheets that can perform mathematical analysis and financial modeling and accordingly, we would create customized projections that are unique and specific to your business model. During this process, we can help you determine what your “Lowest”, “Moderate”, and “Best-case” scenarios could look like.
If the numbers look promising, we can then move on to structuring the round. How much money should you raise? How should you raise it? Debt or equity? How should it be capitalized? How much of the company should you give away? What percentage would your projections support? We would then perform a valuation analysis to help address some of these questions. Once completed, we would help you round out your team, by helping you to bring in any professionals that may be needed to get you ready for your upcoming round. Once you close your round, we would be happy to discuss other areas of our business development and growth strategies.
