Money makes the world go ’round. At least that’s what we are told. Whether you are starting a new business or developing new commercial real estate, the most difficult task in embarking on a new business endeavor is raising an adequate amount of capital to fund your project until it can stand on its own feet. We have Consultants that support raise Capital for an organization like yours.

- Hourly Based Vs. Broker or Investment Banking Formula for raising capital
To achieve consistent results, we work in 3 phases in order to raise capital for our clients.
A. Develop Financial Strategy and Business Plan
We start each engagement by meeting with the client and understanding their business and strategies. Once we have done that, we immediately create a financial plan. Once we have created that plan, and it is reviewed by the client, we share the plan on a ‘no-names’ basis with a few financial institutions, we believe will likely want to fund our client’s business. Our goal is to identify interested institutions very early in the process (ideally in the first couple of weeks). By doing so, we are able to quickly and cost effectively demonstrate to our client that we can deliver them interested funding sources. Our goal is to have our clients financing need in front of interested funding sources at an engagement cost that is less than half the upfront retainer charged by most investment bankers and capital brokers.
B. Assess Capital Markets to Raise Capital
Once we have successfully completed the financial strategy and planning phase, we then (with our client’s permission) access the capital markets in a systematic and effective way. To do that, we finalize a company business plan, then distribute that business plan to not only those firms that expressed interest earlier in our process, but many others as well. By doing it this way, we enable our clients to ‘play the numbers’ and create competition for funding which can save them millions in financing costs. (As eLoan says,”when banks compete, you win.”)
This approach, which is completely unique to PLD Corporate Sol. has worked consistently well. Since implementing this process a few years ago, we have delivered financing offers each time we have accessed the capital markets. For a further explanation of our process.
C. Corporate Financial Planning: Analyze, Adjust, Achieve
After funding is complete, we also look to help our clients achieve their ultimate goals. With their permission, we help them further use ‘finance’ not only to fund their initiatives but to also make better decisions and adjust their plans as their business and markets change.
By combining a simple, fee-only approach to raise capital with our proven consulting process, we are able to consistently help clients raise capital with a level of quality and cost that is unmatched by other advisors.
