Strategic Debt Advisory and Capital Raising

Consult EFC

Fuel your growth without giving up a single share.

Accessing the right debt isn't just about getting a \"yes\" from a bank; it’s about securing terms that protect your cash flow and support your long-term valuation. As an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, I bring Big Four rigour to your funding applications, ensuring your business is presented in the best possible light to traditional lenders, challenger banks and private debt funds.

What I Deliver:

  • Funding Strategy & Options: We evaluate whether Senior Debt, Asset-Based Lending (ABL), or Mezzanine Finance is the most cost-effective path for your specific growth stage.
  • Audit-Grade Financial Modelling: We build the robust 3-way forecasts (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) that lenders require to approve larger facilities.
  • Lender-Ready Pitch Packs: We translate your financial data into a compelling credit narrative that addresses risk upfront and accelerates the approval process.
  • Negotiation & Term Sheet Review: We don't just find the money; we help you negotiate covenants and interest rates to ensure the debt remains an asset, not a burden.

Best For:

  • SMEs looking to fund an acquisition or Management Buy-Out (MBO).
  • High-growth companies needing working capital to scale operations ahead of a Series A/B round.
  • Businesses seeking to refinance existing debt to improve monthly cash flow.

Outcome: Secure the capital you need to scale while retaining 100% ownership and control of your vision.

Consult EFC
 
ICAEW Chartered Accountant | Business Valuation & Exit Strategy Specialist Most UK business owners leave significant value on the table when they exit. Why? Because they rely on "back-of-the-napkin" math instead of audit-grade data. As the founder of Consult EFC, I help ambitious founders move from guessing their business value to strategising their growth. I am an ICAEW Chartered Accountant & Corporate Finance Adviser and a member of the ICAEW Business Advice Service (BAS). My mission is to bridge the "Valuation Gap" that prevents 80% of businesses from hitting their owner's price expectations during a sale or capital raise. How I help you: Audit-Grade Business Valuations: Providing the rigorous, compliant reports that banks, buyers, and HMRC actually respect. Exit & Sale Preparation: Identifying "Value Killers" in your balance sheet and operational structure before you go to market. Strategic Growth: We don't just give you a number; we show you exactly how to increase your industry multiple. Whether you are planning an exit in 12 months, raising investment, or settling a shareholder dispute, you need a baseline built on professional integrity. Always Choose Chartered.
