Financial advisory for SMEs that need to decide with solid numbers.
I support business owners and SMEs at three decisive moments: when they need to grow and raise finance, when cash runs short and they need to get out of a crisis, and when they sell, acquire or hand the business on to the next generation. Based in London, working across the UK and Italy.
Business advisory and corporate finance for SMEs
Four areas of work, each with its own method, tools and experience.
Business plans and finance for growth
- You need to present a plan to a bank or an investor.
- The business is growing, but cash is not keeping up.
- You need a finance director without hiring one full time.
Monitoring · the plan compared with actual results every month
Business crisis and turnaround
- You are paying suppliers late.
- The bank is cutting or withdrawing your credit lines.
- Cash will not cover the next three months.
Monitoring · the 13-week cash flow updated every week
Business valuation and M&A
- You have received an offer and don’t know whether it is fair.
- You want to sell the business in the next 12–24 months.
- You need to plan business succession.
Monitoring · performance and value through to closing and beyond
Audit of financial statements
- Your financial statements must be audited.
- Your bank or an investor asks for audited figures.
- You have non-executive shareholders or are preparing a sale.
Monitoring · periodic checks and corrective actions
