It was good to see so many faces of founders/CEOs both old and new at this morning’s breakfast with Investec. Thank you to all who came along, and to our brilliant panellists for sharing their war wounds and wisdoms Dave Seaton, Paul Rafferty, Kirill Ilinski, Arjun Chopra and to Gulzar S. Hanspal for expertly moderating conversations around debt finance.
Key Takeaways
Debt finance offers better value than equity, as investors typically look for 3-4x returns, while debt providers seek a margin, taking a very different view on risk and return.
Consistent performance, stable revenue streams and clear, achievable growth plans are good for debt finance.
While equity financing can be attractive in certain situations, debt finance is more conducive for those looking to preserve legacy and long-term control.
Thank you once again to Investec for such an informative and enjoyable morning.
