Capital Raising

The Ukrainian capital market can be characterized as extremely undeveloped. The Ukrainian banks are financing the economy at annual interest rate 16% and also prefer not to take a share of business risk of their clients. Being a part of global problem of banking sector, local banks provide only secured loans with a reliable marketable collateral which gets discounted by at least 30%.

As a result, only big businesses with settled operations and identifiable market share have an access to that kind of debt financing. The access to private equity financing is limited by extremely regulated procedures from one side and by the small number of equity investors from another side.

The first very important step to attract external capital is a presentation of information.

Alt's corporate finance team has a positive experience and a wide range of tools how to present your business (or project) to potential investors. Consulting the investors on a daily basis we know how they think and what kind of format they expect to see. All investors are different and preliminary negotiations on a professional level may save you a lot of time and costs in the future.

If your consultant gets involved in the project at this stage it may be a turning point from failure to success. When advising our clients we use an integrated approach. All the aspects of financial reporting and cash flows, tax and legal issues are considered separately and then get integrated into the best solution for the client and potential investor or lender.
