Budgeting and cashflow analysis

A business can be profitable and still run into trouble due to cash flow issues. Every business must have adequate cashflow in order to survive. Finegan Gibson can assist in this area by examining all of the components of your business that affect cash flow. We can forecast and evaluate your company’s financial condition, estimate financing requirements and track cashflow sources and uses.

At Finegan Gibson, we will work closely with you to prepare cashflow and budget analyses which can be used as your organisation’s financial plan and financial management tool.

Raising finance

These days, raising finance for your business might be one of the more painful things you’ll experience in life! There is no best, right or even wrong way to raise finance for your business, there are many ways. The correct way depends on a number of complex factors, such as your product or service offering, your market position, the amount of funding required, the cost of running your business and your personal financial circumstances.

We can help identify sources of finance for new and established businesses. We prepare business plans and forecasts, bank proposals and advice on capital structures, taxation implications and carry out due diligence. We assist in formulating and implementing strategies and setting goals.

We assist with grant applications and have established relationships with a number of local funding bodies.

Sources of finance that we can assist with include:

  • credit from suppliers;
  • overdraft;
  • loans;
  • leasing or contract hire;
  • factoring;
  • equity;
  • grants
