How to take your company public. Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode Adrian Lawrence from FD Capital talks about How to take your company public.

Every CFO dreams of taking a company public. It’s something every CFO aspires to achieve during their career. As a CFO, you’re the guiding force behind taking your company public. Before you can start raising capital or talking about an IPO, there are several hurdles your company will need to pass.

Taking your company public isn’t easy; it takes time, money, and expert manoeuvring to overcome the complex challenges. Getting the initial public office (IPO) for your company right could take months – even years – to prepare.

While taking a company public is a herculin effort, most of the challenges fall on the shoulders of the company’s CFO. The weight of audit standards, governance, and increasing regulations means that getting your company to the IPO stage can feel like an uphill battle.

Our senior team of CFOs are sharing their wisdom on the tips you need to know to take your company public. Not every CFO will have the experience of guiding their company through the IPO stage or preparing them to go public.

When you join a company as a CFO, it’s important to find out whether going public is part of their long-term strategy. Finding this out early will allow you to plan accordingly.

Show notes

In todays episode Adrian Lawrence an experienced CFO himself talks about the key considerations and key milestones in your first 101 days in your new role.

Starting a new job is always daunting. Making a first impression isn’t easy. You want to hit the ground running and put yourself on the path to success. If you’re a CFO, the pressure is even greater.

Recent years have seen the position of CFO grow in leaps and bounds. It’s no longer a job that sees you just balancing the books. CFOs have taken on a strategic role within companies as the second-in-command to the CEO.

A successful CFO has the potential to change the fortunes of the company and put them on the path to sustainable growth. While measuring success is arbitrary, your first 101 days as CFO are a test of your fitness for the role. If you’re stepping into the role of CFO, you want to start with a plan for your first 101 days.

Fractional CFO Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode Adrian Lawrence talks about Fractional CFOs this is a relative new concept to the UK, but the terminology Fractional CFO is gaining in traction and we hear it mentioned often, whereas maybe 2 or 3 years ago we hardly heard it.

The UK equivalent is a Portfolio CFO or Part-Time CFO, as that name suggests a Fractional CFO will work for more than one company at the same time, therefore reducing the cost down so everyone pays a fraction of the full time equivalent cost. The CFO themselves gains the challenge of working for more than one employer at the same time.

Its a very beneficial arrangement that works very well for all concerned.

FD Capital are a CFO and FD niche recruitment boutique who specialise in this very area, to learn more visit our website at www.fdcapital.co.uk

Preparing to meet VC Funds Mar 20, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode Adrian Lawrence from FD Capital talks about meeting VC funds and how to prepare for your first meeting. FD Capital Recruitment are a leading FD and CFO boutique provider specialising in the provision of Fractional CFO's typically candidates from a VC or PE house background.

First off its a numbers of gain in every sense, not all VC funds are going to match to your particular business and niche and the chemistry has to be right all around. Don't be put off if everything seems to match but the fund turns around and says they are not interested.

Getting the numbers right, its very important that your figures are checking really carefully and there are no inconsistencies, if issues are found that will raise concerns within the team reviewing your submission which needs to be avoided.

Having the right team is key, VC funds place high importance on the strength of the team and together with the concept this is what they are investing into, so having a Finance Professional with a proven track record of working with VC funds previously makes a big difference. This is where FD Capital can really help as around 65% of our work is connected in some way to PE house and VC opportunities either within an existing business or one that is seeking funding.

Reach out to our team today and find out how we can help, plus read our FD Capital blog.
