CAPITAL, THE BUSINESS CORNERSTONE
No capital, no growth. Without funding, your expansion plans will stay just that. Plans. Raising Capital can inject much-needed growth funds and big business value … all within days. At its heart the offer needs to work for both business and investor. Sure, you need to focus on accessing the capital required to grow. But it’s even more critical prospective investors can see asset value in:
- Planning that makes a concise and compelling offer,
- An approach that fits their ideal investment profile,
- Strong pitch supported by in-depth business knowledge,
- A clear and detailed understanding of financial data,
- Building in a contingency or margin for error,
- Setting realistic growth projections.
In the end, it’s results that matter. That means locating investment-ready prospects open to your industry, business and opportunity. Often in a matter of hours or days.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- Is it too early to be raising capital?
All businesses need capital to grow. It’s never too early for external funding. But a new business should be realistic in its growth projections and attraction for investors. - What share of my company should I sell?
This is more a question of how much capital you need to raise. Naked Consulting philosophy is that founders should retain at least 51% of the business. - How long does capital raising take?
For most businesses, getting investor-ready takes between 4-8 weeks. Beyond that, there’s no fixed time for how long your offer will take to fully subscribe. - Where do I source investors?
Finding prospective investors isn’t always easy. In general, shareholders tend to be drawn from family and friends, business supporters, stakeholders, private and retail investors. - How involved in capital raising is Naked Consulting?
Naked Consulting is a registered sponsor of Australia’s largest capital raising platform for growing, unlisted companies. To date, over $120 million has been raised.
Raising capital is a two way street. To secure funds and implement a growth plan, you first need to impress investors. That involves Business Planning and a well-structured offer.
