Lantern Capital Advisors:  How We Raise Capital

Comprehensive Business Plans and Prioritized Strategies

We specialize in the development of comprehensive business plans intended to generate significant value for both owners and investors. Our business plans are easily understood and contain the essential information necessary to attract selective investors and institutions.  

Investing institutions must believe that the Company’s business plan is both strategic and attainable.  To illustrate to investors the viability of the Company’s capacity to grow, the business plan must include historical and projected financials. 

We write comprehensive business plans that contain a prioritized growth strategy.  We ensure that our business plans are attainable and the capital requirement is realistic.  We analyze the many methods available in the capital markets to help finance the growth of a business.  We help management determine the financing option that best positions the company for the future.

Identify Investors

We have relationships and primarily targets financial institutions that know our work, solicit our plans, and are interested in investing in specific market sectors.    This ensures that our business plans are welcomed and read by a wide range of financial institutions. In short, institutions are anxious to hear from us and invest in our clients.  We pre-qualify investors and banking institutions before sending out business plans. 

We maintain solid relationships with the largest financial institutions in the world.  We build on and establish relationships in markets where our clients have a presence during the engagement.  We ensure that the business plans we send to investors and institutions will receive attention from the right people.    

Financing proposals and term sheets for growing companies can vary substantially. Competition amongst institutions ensures that our clients will receive the best financing terms available in the capital markets.

Secure Financing

We have a well-defined, proven capital raising process.  We have completed business plans and received term sheets within one month of starting an engagement.  However, most of our clients, due to the time constraints of running a business, typically take four to six months to complete the funding process (Due diligence pace, set by financing sources, average 45 days).  Knowing this, our work plans are tied to specific tasks, and our process can match the speed and pace of our clients.
