Raising finance

Business finance solutions tailored to your needs

Securing the right funding is a critical step for businesses at key points in their development, whether funding growth, supporting an acquisition or strengthening the balance sheet. We support businesses across Ireland in raising finance that aligns with their strategy, ownership objectives and long‑term plans.

With experience across a wide range of funding sources, we help clients assess options, prepare for funding discussions and manage the full fundraising process from initial planning through to completion.

How we support businesses with raising finance

There are many ways to raise finance, each with different implications for control, cost and future flexibility. We help you understand the advantages and trade‑offs of debt, equity and alternative funding so you can make informed decisions based on your business objectives.

Bank finance

We support businesses in securing bank funding, including term loans, working capital facilities and mezzanine finance. Our role includes preparing lender‑ready information, assessing repayment capacity and supporting negotiations on commercial terms.

Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme (EIIS)

EIIS can be an effective source of growth capital for qualifying Irish companies. We advise businesses on eligibility, structure and compliance requirements, and support the process of raising EIIS funding from investors.

Private equity and venture capital

For businesses seeking growth capital or funding for acquisitions, we advise on raising finance from private equity and venture capital investors. This includes preparing investment materials, managing investor discussions and supporting transaction completion.

Private and angel investors

We assist businesses in raising finance from private investors, including angels and family offices. Our support focuses on presenting a clear investment case, agreeing commercial terms and protecting the long‑term interests of the business.

Asset‑based and alternative finance

We advise on alternative funding options such as leasing, sale and leaseback arrangements and invoice discounting. These structures can provide flexibility and support cash flow where traditional funding may not be appropriate.

Our approach to raising finance

Raising finance is a structured process that benefits from careful preparation and clear communication. Our support typically includes:
  • Advising on the most suitable funding options for your business and objectives
  • Assisting with the preparation of business plans and investment materials
  • Developing financial projections to demonstrate funding requirements and repayment capacity
  • Managing discussions with lenders and investors
  • Supporting negotiations on funding terms and conditions
  • Advising on tax, legal and commercial considerations associated with the transaction
We remain involved through completion and can provide follow‑up support as the business moves into its next phase.
