What is a capital raise checklist?
A capital raise checklist is a is a type of due diligence checklist used by those who are preparing to raise capital for their business. It is a checklist of all the documents that need to be collated, verified, and reviewed as part of the due diligence phase that takes place when raising capital.
While due diligence checklists are often created as Excel spreadsheets or Word documents, modern dealmakers are increasingly turning to data rooms that can digitize these checklists to facilitate due diligence without the risks associated with legacy tools, such as version control issues and human error.
47% of deals fail due to issues that are surfaced during the due diligence process. Uncover these early and be ready to seize opportunity.
Raising capital in an uncertain market
Capital is essential for running any business, but the current climate has created additional urgency. Debt and/or equity raising are solutions for helping companies to survive and thrive – but being disorganized and unprepared equates to unnecessary risk.
In a fast-paced and uncertain market, companies and their advisors need to be ready to act. Being able to quickly convert debt or equity into capital is what will enable them to grow the business, weather disruption and realize their potential.
Whether you are raising capital by borrowing funds or selling shares to investors, a lot of disclosure needs to occur. That equates to a lot of risk. Especially if information is being prepared and shared using insecure legacy systems like spreadsheets and emails.
Investors ask questions; you need to have the answers. The process takes an average of 9 months, which is a huge amount of work and cost when you are running your business at the same time - even more so in an uncertain market.
Common capital raise challenges
Not knowing what you’ll find in your critical business information before facing scrutiny from investors
Not knowing what investors are looking for - what does ‘good’ look like?
Being unprepared for the volume of preparation for your raise, which can impact BAU
Having this disorganization reflect poorly on the company
Struggling to collate information and feedback across disparate systems
An overall lack of confidence in the process
The key to generating momentum is order. Organizations that are organized are able to raise faster. The longer the process, the riskier it becomes.
