What is corporate finance advisory?
Every business needs money to grow: to build a factory, open a branch, buy a company or simply manage day-to-day cash. Corporate finance is about how a business raises that money, how it uses it, and how it makes sure the cost of that money is as low as possible.
There are two main ways to raise money. Debt means borrowing, for example a bank loan, which you repay with interest. Equity means selling a share of your company to investors, who then own part of the business. The right mix of the two is called your capital structure.
Still at the early stage? Our startup consultancy team helps founders prepare before they raise. We help you decide what kind of funding you need, prepare you for lenders and investors, and support you through the deal, so you get better terms and fewer surprises.
In simple words: we help you raise and manage money for growth, on terms that are fair to your business.
Debt vs equity: which is right for you?
Each has trade-offs. Many businesses use a mix of both.
| Aspect | Debt (loans) | Equity (investors) |
|---|---|---|
| What you give | Regular repayments with interest | A share of ownership in your company |
| Control | You keep full ownership | Investors may have a say in decisions |
| Repayment | Fixed schedule, even in tough months | No fixed repayment; investors share the upside |
| Usually needs | Steady cash flow and security | A strong growth story and business plan |
| Best for | Stable businesses with predictable income | Fast-growing businesses and startups |

Meet the teamCorporate finance: frequently asked questions
Should I raise money through a loan or from investors?
It depends on your stage, cash flow and growth plans. Loans let you keep full ownership but need regular repayments. Investors do not need fixed repayments but take a share of your business. We help you compare both for your situation.
Do you help startups raise funds?
Yes. We help startups with funding strategy, investor readiness, financial models and planning that can scale as they grow.
What is debt refinancing?
It means replacing an existing loan with a new one on better terms, such as a lower interest rate or a longer repayment period, to reduce pressure on cash flow.
What is financial due diligence?
It is a detailed check of a business’s financial records before a deal. It confirms the numbers are real and highlights risks, so buyers and investors can make an informed decision.
How long does it take to raise funds?
It varies with the type and size of funding. Being well prepared, with clean financials and a strong plan, is the best way to speed it up.
Is our deal information kept confidential?
Yes. All deal discussions and documents are handled with strict confidentiality.
