Dear Readers,  

Welcome to the October/November 2023 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter!

     

Survey

It's almost a wrap for us for 2023, Funding Strategies' 11th year since incorporation. We have worked with some amazing clients and associates this year, and have provided you with some hopefully interesting newsletter and webinar content. 


We'd love some feedback and suggestions before we start of the New Year 2024. Please complete our short, confidential survey via the link below. 


Thanks in advance!

     

Recent Term Sheets

As we get closer to the end of the year, we thought we would summarise some of the terms sheets we have received for debt funding or financing for our clients over the last few months.  


Business funding has included facilities for working capital, invoice finance and senior debt for our clients.  Funding offers include $8.5m for invoice finance and senior debt; circa $450k for working or operating capital (revenue based funding - unsecured); US$10m senior debt asset backed facility and a $6.4m funding facility.  


We work closely with our clients and the funders to appropriately structure offers and move to completion.  For larger deals this generally involves finalising due diligence and for asset backed arrangements including finalising valuations. 

 

If you are looking for finance you can find more information here: 

Separately, we are generally seeing more companies with ATO debt.  We have solutions in this space for companies that have appropriate assets and can demonstrate cash flow, so please reach out to discuss if this is the case. 

     

Seasons Greetings

From all of us here in Brisbane, we wish you all the best for the upcoming festive season and we hope you have a refreshing break for a great start into 2024!

     
Partner of the Month

outsource2us - 

Your Plug-In Marketing Team


We have been working with outsource2us for over two years. Unlike a ‘normal’ digital marketing agency, outsource2us call themselves a plug-in team. That’s because they do exactly that – they work with you on-site or virtually to become part of your team. They’re not driven to send you down a specific pathway. They take the time to really understand your business and tailor a solution you can trust, with a solid strategy behind it.
