Growth companies need fuel for growth, and this typically means funding. Fund-raising is often a distinct operation that takes resources away from an organization’s most important activity: actual day-to-day business operations. Yet, it’s equally important to ensure that entrepreneurs and key personnel maintain an adequate stake in the company. We’ve been on the entrepreneur side, and we know how to build the best possible setting to maximize your position.

Our funding and ownership structuring services typically include the following elements:

• Setting the goals for fund-raising / ownership structuring (amount of money needed, level of ownership desired, etc.)
• Preparing necessary investor materials
• Preparing cap-tables
• Preparing needed ownership structures (cap-tables), legal templates (shareholder agreements, etc.) for different stages of the company.
• Proposing funding / ownership structure

Funding structure is often a mix of private and public money. There are multiple instances on the public side, such as Tekes, ELY-centre, Culminatum, Keksintösäätiö, and Finvera/Avera, among others. Public funding instruments also vary. In addition, different public bodies have different processes, so we take care of the bureaucracy for you.

We also have access to an extensive network of private investors in Finland and in Scandinavia. We help our customers find suitable private investor candidates.

Funding services are offered with a small retainer + a success fee based on funding closed.

We want to allow you to focus on essentials, thus a limited amount of time is needed for participating in the funding prosess (participation in 1-2 planning meetings, providing existing raw materials, participating in critical investor meetings).
