Raising development capital

A company's plans for growth, development or survival can often require more finance than is available from its own cash resources. Both new and mature businesses may need to raise finance at some time, and all businesses need to keep a close eye on their financial structure.

Development capital may come from a number of sources:

• Existing shareholders
• New shareholders (either private individuals or institutional private equity and venture capital investors)
• Additional debt (including overdraft, term loans, mortgages, invoice discounting, asset finance, and others)
• Mezzanine debt
