Capital raising for growth and scaling

A capital increase is more than just raising fresh capital. It is a strategic decision that enables growth, broadens scope and lays the foundations for the next stage of a company’s development.

intelligentis provides structured and targeted support for capital increases for start-ups and growth-oriented companies. The focus is on a clear strategic positioning, the selection of suitable investors and a controlled process from preparation through to completion.

Who might benefit from a capital increase

A capital increase is particularly useful when the aim is to finance growth in a targeted manner and prepare a company for its next stage of development. Typical scenarios include:

Start-ups and scale-ups

Companies that wish to accelerate their growth and finance the next stage of their development.

Growth-oriented companies

Established companies seeking to accelerate growth or target new markets.

Buy-and-build strategies

Companies that require capital for acquisitions and achieve growth through acquisitions.

What matters when it comes to a capital increase

A capital increase is a business decision with long-term implications. Regardless of the stage of the business or the sector, there are key factors that determine the success of a capital raise. These include:

Definition of strategic objectives
What is the capital to be used for, and what specific development is it intended to facilitate?

Investor fit
Which investors are a good fit for the company – in terms of expertise, strategy and culture – and for the planned growth trajectory?

Structure and investment model
How can the capital raise be structured effectively without restricting the company’s operational autonomy?

Transparency and Preparation
How robust are the figures, plans and arguments from the perspective of potential investors?

Feasibility and scalability
Is the capital increase structured in such a way that further rounds of financing or strategic moves remain possible?

Our approach to capital increases

A successful capital raising is not achieved through individual measures, but through a clear strategic approach. The key lies in how growth, investor engagement and structure are linked together at an early stage.

A clear focus on objectives rather than raising capital at any cost

Capital increases are not driven by market forces, but by the company’s business objectives. Together, we define the role that the additional capital is intended to play in growth, scaling and further strategic steps.

Suitable investors rather than maximum reach

Not every investor is a good fit for every company. We focus on strategic and cultural fit in order to identify investors who can support growth in the long term.

A structured process with clear management

A capital increase requires a clearly managed process. We structure the preparation, communication and consultation stages in such a way that decisions can be made in an informed and controlled manner.

Scope for further growth

Capital increases are structured in such a way that they do not restrict further rounds of financing, acquisitions or strategic developments, but rather specifically facilitate them.

How we support a capital increase

A capital increase requires a clearly managed process. The aim is to prepare decisions in a structured manner, to categorise options clearly and to actively manage the entire process.

Definition of objectives and capital strategy

To begin with, we will work together to clarify the objectives of the capital increase and the role the additional capital is intended to play in growth, scaling or further strategic steps.

Preparation and organisation

Based on the objectives, we provide support in structuring the capital increase and preparing the content of documents relevant to investors.

Identifying and approaching suitable investors

We identify investors who are a good fit for the company’s stage of development and strategic direction, and facilitate a targeted, discreet approach.

Discussions, evaluation and voting

When engaging with potential investors, we assist with analysing feedback, evaluating options and preparing well-informed decisions.

Structuring, negotiation and conclusion

We assist with the coordination of the shareholding structure and support the process right through to the completion of the capital increase.
