Dear Readers,  

Welcome to the May 2024 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter!

     

From Mark's Desk

What is the cost of not getting capital / finance when it is needed?

What do we see companies doing?
  • delaying raising capital;
  • trying to put an investment thesis together without addressing current problems in the business;
  • waiting until the money is urgently needed;
  • not paying ATO debt;
  • not cutting costs fast enough ...
What is the cost of not taking action?
  • working capital issues;
  • can't supply to customers, can't pay suppliers;
  • can't make enough product;
  • strategic initiatives are delayed or growth "put on hold"
  • company is put at risk through adverse actions ...
  • defaults on credit score;
  • financiers won't lend money;
  • reputational damage;
  • wind up actions ...
If any of these issues are arising in your business please call us for an obligation free "assessment" and options on how to move forward.

Family Harmony Project


Update

We have received the following update from Stephanie Kakris, the ScreenCoach Co-Founder:

"We've been getting great feedback from families with ADHD kids - they are reporting that ScreenCoach is transforming their homes from chaotic to calm. ScreenCoach is much more than a screen time management tool, it rewards kids for healthy habits, helps them regulate and builds self esteem as they are empowered to manage themselves a lot better. I have written a new blog post explaining how ScreenCoach is helping ADHD and neurodiverse families."
