Business model and financeFinancial structuring

A financial structure that supports your strategy

Some strategies need more money than your own cash flow can provide. Think of an acquisition, rapid growth or a new market. The Next Organization helps you choose the type of financing that fits your strategy. We then set up your structure and help you raise the capital.

Sound familiar?

  • Your strategy needs more money than your cash flow generates
  • The bank will only finance part of your plans
  • You are torn between a loan, an investor or a combination of both
  • A new investor wants a different legal structure
  • Fragmented ownership slows down decisions about financing
  • You are not sure how to win investors over

From strategy to financing

A financial structure determines how your organisation is financed, who owns it and who makes the decisions. Every strategy calls for its own mix. An acquisition needs something different from an investment in a new market. That is why we start with your strategy, not with the type of financing.

Six steps to your financial structure

You build from the ground up, on the foundation of your strategy

  1. Financing need

    How much money does your strategy require, in which phase and when?

  2. Type of financing

    Does a loan, equity or a combination best suit your risk appetite and ambition?

  3. Legal structure

    Which entities and agreements do you need, such as a holding company or a shareholders' agreement?

  4. Ownership and control

    What do investors get, and what do you retain control of?

  5. Valuation and entry price

    What is a defensible valuation, and how do you treat existing and new investors?

  6. Raising capital

    What story will convince investors or lenders?

Your strategy

A new structure affects every shareholder. That is why we work with scenarios and involve shareholders early on. We carry out the tax and legal review together with specialist partners.

What you get

You know what financing your strategy needs and which type fits it. You know what that choice means for your own stake and control. Your structure is in place and has the backing of your shareholders. And you can give investors or lenders a clear and defensible story.

Frequently asked questions

When is a bank not enough?

A bank mainly finances what is certain, such as property, stock or a stable cash flow. Growth that carries more risk often calls for equity. That comes from investors, or from a mix of equity and a loan.

Do you also handle the tax and legal work?

No, for that we work with tax and legal specialists. We make sure the structure fits your strategy and financing needs, and that your shareholders support it.

When should you choose an investor over a loan?

A loan leaves your ownership intact, but requires a predictable cash flow to cover interest and repayments. An investor shares more of the risk and expects a stake and a say in return. Which option fits depends on your strategy, your risk and how much control you want to keep.
