Raise Finance

The availability and supply of appropriate business finance, whether by way of debt and/or equity, is often crucial for companies looking to accelerate their growth, yet attracting and securing finance in the current climate is harder than ever before.

Arocon is able to open doors to the right funding by:
  • assisting businesses improve their investment readiness
  • helping companies become more attractive to the sources of finance available in today’s market
  • explaining the differing forms of finance available, together with the benefits and disadvantages of each type, and determine what is the appropriate combination for your business. For example, your requirement could be fulfilled by way of asset finance, short-term working capital, invoice discounting/factoring, debt, equity, or any combination of these.
  • introducing clients to the appropriate sources of finance through our long-standing relationships with crowdfunders, business angels (domestic and overseas high net worth individuals), private corporate investors and financial institutions - banks, venture capital firms and private equity houses.

Crowdfunding

For smaller requirements Arocon has partnered with Crowdcube to assist companies raising sums from as little as £25,000. Founded in 2010, Crowdcube is the next generation of business investment. It is a new way to fund start-ups and business expansion by crowdfunding for equity, giving entrepreneurs a platform to connect with ordinary people and raise venture capital.

By attracting lots of investors who invest smaller amounts of money into a person, company, product or idea you can bypass the traditional ways of raising venture finance.
