Finding Capital to Fund Growth or a Turnaround

khmarks — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:16:57 GMT

By Kenneth H Marks, Lead Author of the Handbook of Financing Growth, 2nd Edition www.HandbookofFinancingGrowth.com

Finding the funds to grow a company or work through a difficult time is always challenging. The activities that CEOs and CFOs must undertake are the same regardless of whether the company is growing and self financing, raising capital or thinking about selling. In the end, value creation is all about the amount of future cash flow the company can generate.

Some of the common questions that arise in driving the funding raising process are:

- How much capital?
- When do I need it?
- Who should I get it from?
- How much should it cost?
- How much debt and how much equity?
- Should I personally guarantee the company's debts? If so, how much?

The answer to all of these questions is surfaced by following a process that begins with end in mind, and then systematically works to narrow the likely and feasible alternatives.

Step one involves understanding the current and historical state of the business and how it got where it is. This is coupled with a clear articulation of the objectives of the shareholders and a defined go-forward strategy. Then forecast the likely scenarios and compare proforma company performance to competitive or industry benchmarks for realism. You should be able to assess the likely use of new funds and the timing of when they are required after several iterations. A nice byproduct of the process is an estimate of the value of the business and how it is likely to change over the forecast period.

Armed with this information, you can then begin to determine the go-forward capital structure and target funding sources. Test the market to see if you can really get the capital desired and drive the process in a competitive environment to negotiate and close the deal.

While this may sound easy, it takes time to prepare and execute... so being proactive is critical if you can (sometimes that is hard in a crisis). Getting the right team of players to partner with you and your management team is critical to drive the process and minimize distractions to operations.

Finding sales agent for my clothing label in USA and Europe

whitekitten — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:39:42 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I own a clothing label and I have launched it in Australian Fashion Week about 2 years ago. I am currently selling in that area as well as Asia and as of the moment, I want to expand and sell in the USA and Europe. Would any of you have recommendations on how to find the perfect agent for my label?

Thanks,
Pia

Re: Boutique merchandise. How to get brand names in your store

whitekitten — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:33:59 GMT

Hi. I own a clothing label which is being sold in Australia and South East Asia and I am planning to penetrate the Western market. The other comments are very right, you would have to attend to trade shows and register as a buyer OR contact agents (sales representatives) of the clothing lines that you are wanting to stock in your store. Most big labels are quite picky with the stores that they put their label in or have official distributors in a particular area. It might be wise to mix up and coming labels as well as reputable brands to have good variety and flexible pricepoints.

Hope this helps

Re: Advertising Business

jacovsamuel — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:36:56 GMT

Advertising is an important component of your marketing strategy,
along with direct marketing, PR, exhibitions and a website. The aim of
each of these is to promote your business and communicate the
information you want to send to your intended audience, usually with
the aim of increasing sales.

Until a customer deals with you directly and actually buys your
products or services, your advertising may help to form their first
impressions of your business. While advertising can attract new
customers, it can also turn potential customers away if it seems
amateurish compared with your competitors.

This guide gives advice on where and how to advertise. It also shows
you how to manage the process and ensure you get value for money.

You're probably

getting started online trying to figure it all on your
