Investment is the finance that supports your business. Initially, this tends to be money from the founders of the business but growing businesses will normally need more capital to support their growth. This can come in different forms: debt, equity and also from effective balance sheet management.

How can COLOBUS help?

We have a well-qualified team of experts who are experienced at identifying the right capital structure for all types of business and who can help you achieve it. Through our contacts in the debt and equity markets we can help you get the right finance in place and because we are qualified corporate finance experts you will benefit when it comes to agreeing both pricing and terms with your investors.

Among the things we pride ourselves on is our creativity. A great deal can be achieved by effective balance sheet management. For example, Chris Lowe - the founder of COLOBUS - introduced the world’s first pre-paid mobile telecoms billing system. This is now commonplace all over the world but at the time Chris developed it, it was unique. Chris worked with the billing company to design and implement an invoicing process that helped eliminate both bad debt and foreign exchange losses.

Creative thinking like this is part of the package you get when COLOBUS is brought on board
