Background
Investing equity in a private company can be a time-consuming and expensive process, sometimes out of all proportion to the amount being raised. Naturally, the investor will want contractual protection to ensure that its investment is safeguarded. On the other hand, it is a key advantage to have standard investment documentation that is short, easy to read and user-friendly. This will facilitate a timely and cost-effective closing of the investment.
Benefits
Nabarro can offer a solution to these problems through its documentation service for venture capitalists.
The process is straightforward. We discuss your preferred investment structure and capture all the key commercial terms that you usually wish to agree with a company in which you are investing. Armed with this information, we will prepare standard pro formas of the principal investment documents that are concise, written in plain English and designed to be readily understood by business people.
We offer this service free of charge. If you like the documentation, you use us on your subsequent investments. If you don't, then nothing is lost. However, we believe you will be very pleased with the results.
