#ICAI or #BCAS should come up with a platform where founders of a business (especially those who are CAs) can pitch to potential investors about their business idea/model/plan/prototype in exchange of equity.

Love This! Sounds like we are finally talking about Radical Honesty especially in the corporate sector. The best way to heal the past, reduce stress, and revitalize yourself, is to tell the truth. "Be honest and dig up the skeletons when engaging with investors- investors seek to grow as much as you do." Radical Honesty? Radical honesty (RH) is the practice of complete honesty without telling even white lies. The phrase was trademarked in 1997 as a technique and self-improvement program based on the 1996 bestselling book Radical Honesty by Brad Blanton. Would definitely recommend his book. https://lnkd.in/d_7PjVW8

It was a great moment last weekend seeing off one of the Ascent Cohorts in their last workshop on Investment Readiness. A lot is said about access to finance but less is said about due diligence, what investors look for and things to take note of while going in bed with investors. A few tidbits for entrepreneurs seeking financing: 1. Stay focused on building your business 2. Start early: begin due diligence as early as you begin your business- legal, financials, contracts and agreements etc. 3. Be open as a book and also be as cautious as the contents of a book. 4. Be honest and dig up the skeletons when engaging with investors- investors seek to grow as much as you do. #funding #accesstocapital #duediligence #privateequity #vcs

How can private credit fill the funding gap? Private credit is emerging as an important alternative form of finance for small-to-medium sized businesses in APAC. “We look at the sources of capital that are available and advise clients on how much and on what terms they might be able to raise that capital,” says Gordon Morrison, partner at specialist advisory firm McGrathNicol. “And, if it’s attractive to them, we help them to take the next step.” https://ow.ly/Qcvz50TIufW 👈 Brought to you by McGrathNicol. #ad #finance #SMEs #privatecredit

The main takeaway from this week's session on "Succession Waves: Navigating Financial Lifecycles for Family-Owned Businesses" Rather than immediately pursuing aggressive growth to make an impact, it's crucial to prioritize optimizing Return on Invested Capital (#ROIC) and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (#WACC). This is because genuine #Value Creation through growth only happens when ROIC exceeds WACC. The good news is that there are likely numerous opportunities for optimizing ROIC/WACC. Family-owned businesses often grapple with outdated processes, low-return projects, and legacy employment structures. Meanwhile, founder-owned firms may be under-leveraged on the WACC side, as self-made founders may overlook the "cost of equity" and see interest on loans solely as profit reduction. Once these optimizations are in place, it's time to consider expanding the company to new horizons, leaving a legacy that surpasses that of your predecessor, potentially your parent. This is your chance to shape the organization's path with your distinct vision, paving the way for sustained success and growth ahead. #Succession #FamilyOwned #Business #Financial #Lifecycle #Corporate #Finance
