Finance for Growth
A series of podcasts from HMT Corporate Finance, aiming to bring you engaging and relevant conversation from us, our clients and our partners that will investigate, explain and de-mystify the corporate finance challenges and decisions facing UK SMEs.
Our conversation today turns to one of the most common but often most bewildering financing situations that entrepreneurial businesses will face - how to raise true growth capital to fund business investment. During this episode we are going to talk to two business owners who have been through the process and have successfully raised capital in the last 12 months, one using debt and the other accessing institutional equity. We are also going to speak to the people who led those respective investments about how they see the decision between equity versus debt shaping up, and also what stands out for them in a great growth business.
