Your business needs to grow to succeed and to deliver the kinds of returns you want

And you are likely to need funding to maintain momentum

As an entrepreneur, you will probably have plenty of ideas of your own that will let you grow your business. But whatever route you take, you’ll probably need external funding.

There are many ways to create that growth. You could develop and expand to offer additional products and services, for example, serve a wider geographical area, or work with a broader customer demographic.

You might want to buy out a supplier, or even a competitor. You might want to set up a production line, a warehouse, or a branch office. You may want to develop a new product or acquire intellectual property that you could leverage.

Whatever you choose, external funding can help you get there quicker.

Thinking of getting into equity funding? Rangewell has helped many business owners realise their growth potential. Get in touch to find out more!

What is growth capital funding?

A growth capital fund is a diversified portfolio of stocks with capital appreciation as its primary goal with little or no payouts. The portfolio will consist of companies with an above-average growth rate willing to reinvest their earnings into expansions, acquisitions and research and development.

Why you need finance to grow

Whatever the size of your business now, if you need to use your profits to invest in growth, that growth could take a very long time.

If you need to build up a reserve of cash before you can grow, you may simply not have the funds available to seize growth opportunities as they come along.

However, finding external funding at the level required will also bring challenges.

Equity investment can provide the necessary levels of finance but may mean that you no longer are the sole owner of the business, and you may no longer have full control.

One solution can be growth capital funding. This is finance on a large enough scale to support your growth plans - but based on borrowing, which means you won’t have to sacrifice control or equity in your business.

Solutions are available for virtually any size of business.

How growth capital funding works

Growth Capital funding is a type of private equity investment, structured as a minority investment. It is aimed at companies that are looking for capital to expand or restructure, enter new markets or finance an acquisition without a change in control of the business.

Whatever stage your business has reached currently, it could help you take it further, without giving away control or significant equity.  You can use the funds in any way you need to achieve your growth plans, whether they involve expansion, acquisition or new product development.

Growth capital loans are technically Mezzanine Loans and can work alongside additional senior debt facilities.

  • They can provide sums of £5 million or more for terms of up to five years.
  • Interest is paid quarterly, although with some lenders some, or all, may be rolled up and capitalised.
  • Capital is repaid at the end of the term or refinanced.
  • Security is provided as a second-tier debt

Growth capital funding must be arranged on a bespoke basis. It may be suitable for growing businesses with an annual turnover of up to £25 million and a minimum three-year trading history. A pattern of growth in sales and profits and a strong management team are all desirable.
