Fundraising

Our strong relationships with the UK’s leading debt and equity providers enable us to identify appropriate funding solutions for a wide range of differing objectives.

Successful businesses often require external funding for a number of reasons, including:

the need for investment capital to unlock new growth opportunities
the need to restructure an inappropriate or ineffective capital base
a desire on the part of existing shareholders to release value tied up in the business in order to reduce their risk exposure

The injection of new capital from a suitable external investor can not only deliver the funding sought by existing shareholders but also bring fresh ideas and challenges on the future direction of their business. We work closely with clients to assess the funding requirements of both company and shareholders, and determine which forms of external capital are most suitable.

HMT is renowned for finding innovative solutions where normal private equity or debt funding is not available. For example, we have developed our own network of high net worth individuals who are often able to provide funding for projects which are operationally sound but which would fall outside the investment criteria of private equity houses.
