Advisory / Capital & liquidity
When funding, cash flow and the capital structure need to work together.
The situation
We advise on capital structure, debt strategy and liquidity discipline in situations where financing decisions affect resilience, growth and execution capacity. Our role is to help clients define financing logic that is aligned with business reality, improve readiness for lender or investor scrutiny and bring more discipline to liquidity, cash flow and capital deployment.
This service is particularly relevant for companies facing refinancing needs, funding pressure, acquisition activity, working capital constraints or broader strategic change. We help build a stronger financial framework that supports flexibility, control and more effective execution.
When this mandate is relevant
A funding requirement is more than an amount to be raised. Timing, debt capacity, existing commitments and the business plan affect which financing paths are credible and how much preparation is needed before a lender or investor dialogue.
Investment, customer payment terms, inventories and operating commitments can create financing needs before the expected benefits arrive. The mandate connects those timing differences to the wider capital and liquidity plan.
A business may have separate views of debt, treasury, capital expenditure and cash flow. Bringing them into one framework helps decision-makers understand where pressure is building and which choices affect financial flexibility.
Advisory scope
Mandate detail
AXXESS supports clients in preparing capital raising processes, assessing funding options and positioning opportunities for investors, lenders or strategic partners.
The objective is to create a clear capital story, credible materials and a structured path for engagement with relevant capital providers.
Preparation and coordination support for equity, debt, hybrid financing and project funding processes.
Assessment of financing options, shareholder requirements, debt capacity and strategic funding alternatives.
Development of investment teasers, presentations, financial summaries and supporting materials for investor engagement.
The work behind the recommendation
Review the funding profile, maturities, ownership objectives and relevant financing constraints. Identify how the current structure relates to the business model, planned investment and the financial scenarios under consideration.
Examine the cash implications of the operating plan, working capital and investment commitments. Make the timing and assumptions behind funding requirements visible, including areas where the available information is incomplete.
Assess the business logic of debt, equity, hybrid or project-related alternatives within the mandate. Consider affordability, flexibility, timing, information requirements and the implications for shareholders and other stakeholders.
Organize the capital narrative, financial materials and process priorities needed for discussions with relevant lenders, investors or partners. Keep the external story consistent with the underlying model and decision framework.
Typical work products
The work products are tailored to the engagement. Their purpose is to connect the analysis to the decision, the intended users and the next steps, rather than to produce documents in isolation.
An organized view of the existing financing profile, structural constraints and the questions the capital plan needs to resolve.
A clear explanation of the principal cash drivers, timing assumptions, sensitivities and funding requirements.
A comparison of relevant alternatives, their implications and the preparation needed to pursue them.
Financial summaries, an investment or financing narrative and supporting information tailored to the intended discussion.
The final scope, deliverables and responsibilities are agreed for each mandate.
Why the distinctions matter
A financing structure should be evaluated against the way the business generates and uses cash. The trade-offs concern timing, resilience, shareholder objectives and room for future decisions, as well as the immediate funding need. Preparation improves the quality of the discussion; financing outcomes remain subject to the relevant counterparties and process.
Illustrative situation
A company needs to refinance existing debt while preparing a further investment. The two decisions affect the same cash flows and cannot be assessed independently.
The mandate would bring maturities, operating cash generation, capital expenditure and alternative financing assumptions into a common scenario framework.
The resulting discussion can focus on a coherent sequence of funding and investment decisions, rather than two competing funding requests.
Questions before the first conversation
No. The service scope includes preparation for equity, debt, hybrid financing and project funding, together with capital structure, investor materials and strategic partner approaches where relevant.
Yes. A cash flow and capital review can help define the requirement, its timing and the assumptions behind it before a market-facing process is prepared.
No. The mandate supports analysis, readiness and the agreed process. Terms, availability and any financing commitment are determined through the relevant counterparty decisions and documentation.
Share an initial overview only. Sensitive project documentation can be addressed through the agreed engagement process.
