Insights

A financial knowledge hub for founders and promoters.

Evergreen, practical material on how funding, listing and transaction decisions are actually assessed — written for the people making those decisions rather than for finance professionals.

Editorial approach

Why there are no statistics on these pages.

A great deal of financial content online cites figures that were accurate on the day they were written and misleading a year later. Market sizes, listing volumes, average valuations and interest rates all move.

We have deliberately written this material to be evergreen: principles, frameworks and the questions that get asked in the room. Where current figures matter to a decision you are making, they should come from a current source — not from an article.

If you need a view on present conditions in your sector, that is a conversation rather than a blog post.

“The most useful thing an adviser can tell a founder is usually not a number. It is which question the room will ask first.”

On writing about finance

A question these pages did not answer?

Most funding questions are specific to the business asking them. Describe your situation and we will give you a direct answer.
