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, the investor will want to ensure that the company is properly funded in accordance with the anticipated timetable on a cost-effective basis and that management are not so distracted by the investment process that they neglect the business.
Benefits
Nabarro can offer a solution to these problems through its fixed fee completion service.
The process is straightforward. We agree with you an instruction sheet to identify your preferred investment structure and to capture all the key commercial terms that need to be agreed with the company. We also ask the company's directors to complete a due diligence questionnaire on the business and personal questionnaires on their own background. It is made clear to them that they will be made responsible for their replies in the investment documentation. Armed with this information, we will prepare the necessary documentation to implement the investment quickly and for a fixed fee which is agreed in advance based on the instruction sheet and agreed assumptions that we will explain. Our documentation is clear and concise and designed to be readily understood by business people.
