Strategic Advisory
A key ingredient in obtaining financing is to have a well
thought out and clearly written strategic business plan
describing the company and its products, marketplace,
management, marketing strategy and financial projections. Once
an effective business plan is created, a financing strategy is
required to determine which types of investors to approach
(i.e., venture capitalists, angels, investment funds, banks,
etc.) and which investors most likely having an appropriate
fit with the company being financed. New Capital
Horizon's principals have worked closely with companies to
create business plans and financing strategies and have
consistently helped those companies successfully execute those
strategies.
This focused strategic planning approach to positioning
companies for the future enables owners, CEOs, boards and
senior managers to thoroughly evaluate and agree collegially
upon where they are going and the most effective and
profitable way to get there.
Mergers & acquisitions, as well as growth financing,
require advanced strategic planning if a successful outcome is
to be realized. The preparation for selling, for buying, or
for financing a business often begins years in advance of the
actual "harvest event." Strategic planning is the essential
first step in preparing a company for sale or for acquiring
other companies.
We recommend you review the Strategic Plan Template found
in The Resource Centre. The Template will provide you
with the key issues addressed and will provide a basis for
discussions.
Succession Planning
Valuation Services
A formal business valuation if often necessary for future
estate and succession issues, tax planning, and for
establishing a benchmark value for a potential sale of a
business.
A business valuation involves specific steps and processes
to arrive at the finished valuation. Complete financial
statements and other detailed information serve as the core
information source for conducting the valuation.
Each individual business has unique operating conventions
and circumstances that must be understood in order for
valuations to be accurate, fair and supportable. Valuations
completed by valuation advisors who possess the ability to
identify these value drivers provide added value to owners,
CEOs and boards of medium and high-growth companies.
We recommend you review the Business Valuation
Questionnaire in The Resource Centre. This
questionnaire will provide key information that will assist
your valuation advisor in their discussions with you.
