Do It Right - Capital Advisory Services

At Do It Right, we believe that effective capital raising can be a relatively painless process,that you can control! This doesn’t mean it is a simple undertaking;however,given the proper guidance and introductionsyou can take control of the process and minimize its life cycle. Although external funding can be critical to your ongoing operations, we know thatevery minute an executive spends pursuing capital is one less spent on driving the core business. This is a huge opportunity cost, one we seek to minimize as much as possible.

Raising capital can be a time consuming and frustrating process. This is the largest problem small to mid-sized companies face, but the DIR teamstreamlines this process by leveraging relationships built over decades and founded on trust. We know our investors, the industries they focus on and why they would invest in your company. We prepare you, to answer their unique questions and determine if they find you a good fit for their investment strategies.

If we had to summarize all our experience into one phrase it would be that “first impressions count”. In practice, this means that once you’ve begun conversations with a capital provider, that provider is likely to make 90% of their decision within the first few minutes of receiving your material. As a result, you benefit disproportionately when you can preemptively address their areas of likely concern and be prepared to respond quickly, accurately and definitively to initial diligence. These questions often get to the heart of your business and when answered properly, the effects are transformative, which results in capital!
