Scaling Up

Services & Products

We are here to help small businesses to get access to the support they need to scale.

Companies at the early stage (revenue between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000) and the young enterprise (revenue between $5,000,000 to $15,000,000).

At the young enterprise stage, companies most likely would have to decide and take strategic decision on expanding capacity, expand overseas market, increasing headcount, more certification and better risk management. Companies who neglected these key factors usually find themselves spending more money in problem solving and unnecessary time taken to catch up with loose ends that resulted in loss in revenue and earnings.

How we can help:

We have partners for funding in your business, both debt and equity, including business partnering in scaling up to the point of successful exit. We have also incorporated relevant non-core tasks, such as corporate services into our business model. So that we work more on focusing the core values and critical success factors, such as growth in sales and marketing, branding, and business processes just to name a few.

1. Scaling up decisions -> legal, HR, Accounting, Production…

2. Funding process:

  • Use of proceeds
  • Valuation (DCF, net income, NAV, users, market benchmark, Price earnings multiples, 5 years to 10 years outlook and forecast)

3. Risk management tools and techniques
