Growth Capital - Venture Capital and Initial Public Offerings

Venture Capital

One of the problems for start-ups and fast growing companies is to attract the necessary risk capital for creating the correct financial fundamentals for such a growth. Although most indicators signalise that there is a relative overflow of available capital, only a limited number of companies succeed in finding the capital needed for expansion.

At first sight this seems contradictory so what’s the reason of this difficulty in finding that kind of risk capital ? The main reason is that SME’s have a language problem: they don’t speak or write the language of the suppliers of risk capital. One has to know the criteria of investors in order to furnish them with the data in a language they are willing to read. If you don’t know the field of risk capital and if you don’t have a well articulated strategy for attracting risk capital, you will fail in doing so.

Initial Public Offerings (IPO's)

Public financial markets are often considered as the exclusive domain for large companies in traditional industries. However, companies that have the ambition to grow beyond their normal local border lines have also the possibility to address the public investors community. International expansion, capital expenditures, acquisition strategies or recapitalisation can be the drivers for an initial public offering. Financing needs of EUR 2 million or more can be subject of an IPO. The Free Market on EURONEXT is the right platform for IPO's of this kind.

A quoted company becomes widely known and enjoys the attention of the financial press and analysts. On the other hand, quoted companies need to produce financial reports and other communications on a regular basis and this at first class quality.

Based on reputation and know how, Arphius has been acknowledged as "arranger" at EURONEXT. Arphius can arrange an IPO in an efficient and professional way in order to obtain the results searched for.

The Arphius Team can also coach the company in the post IPO period. This in order to assure that all formal obligations as a quoted company are met in a timely and correct manner.
