Equity Fundraising

Equity fundraising is more than approaching investors. Businesses need to understand their capital requirement, organise financial information, review their ownership structure and prepare the documentation that may be examined during an investment process.

LegaFin provides equity fundraising advisory services in India for businesses and promoters preparing for private investment and fundraising transactions. Our support covers investor readiness, capital structure, valuation, financial modelling, investment structuring, term sheets, shareholder and investment documentation, due diligence coordination, transaction support and post-investment corporate compliance coordination.

Equity Fundraising Advisory

We support businesses in organising the financial, corporate and transaction-related elements of an equity fundraising process. The objective is to help management approach the transaction with clearer information, documentation and structure.

Private Investment & Investor Readiness

Before investor discussions become serious, a business should be prepared to explain its financial position, ownership, funding requirement and supporting records. LegaFin assists with private investment and investor readiness so that key information can be organised before the due diligence and transaction stages.

For startup-focused investor preparation, related requirements can also be coordinated through Angel & Venture Capital Funding and Startup Funding Advisory.

Capital Structure Advisory

A proposed investment can affect ownership, dilution and the wider capital structure of a business. We support review of the capital structure in the context of the proposed fundraising transaction. Where debt and equity options need to be considered together, support can be coordinated through Debt & Capital Structuring.

Valuation Support & Financial Modelling

Valuation and financial projections can form an important part of investment discussions. LegaFin supports businesses with valuation analysis and financial modelling requirements, with detailed support available through Valuation & Financial Modelling.

Investment Structure Advisory

Investment transactions require consideration of the proposed structure and its commercial implications. We support businesses in reviewing the transaction structure alongside relevant corporate, financial and documentation requirements.

Term Sheet Advisory

A term sheet can establish the commercial framework for a proposed investment before definitive documentation is completed. LegaFin supports review of term sheet considerations within the context of the proposed transaction and coordinates relevant professional inputs where required.

Shareholder & Investment Documentation

Equity transactions may require shareholder, investment and corporate documentation reflecting the agreed structure. Related documentation can be coordinated through Transaction Structuring & Documentation and Commercial Contracts & Agreements.

Due Diligence Coordination

Investors may review financial, corporate, tax, legal and compliance information before completing an investment. LegaFin supports preparation and coordination of this process through Business & Financial Due Diligence, Corporate Due Diligence and Legal Due Diligence.

Transaction Support

As the fundraising progresses, different financial, legal, corporate and documentation workstreams may need to move together. LegaFin provides coordinated transaction support within the scope of the engagement.

Post-Investment Corporate Compliance Coordination

Completion of an investment can create follow-on corporate documentation, filings, share capital and governance requirements. These can be coordinated through Share Capital & Securities Advisory, ROC & MCA Compliance and Corporate Secretarial & Governance Advisory.

LegaFin provides advisory, preparation, documentation and transaction coordination support. Investment decisions, regulated securities activities and intermediary functions remain subject to the relevant investor, regulated intermediary or appropriately authorised professional, as applicable.
