Overview

If you want to raise additional capital to build your business … LVI can help.  

LVI is a firm whose business is helping its clients raise capital.  We work at it every day and have been doing it for the last 20 years.

The average entrepreneur has never raised equity capital except from friends and family.  The seasoned CEO or CFO has raised long-term capital (either equity or debt) two to six or more times.  We have raised capital for clients in security or other technology industries in more than 100 transactions. 

You can use our experience and resources to help you successfully raise the capital you need in a timely manner. Here’s how we help:

1.         We are experienced professionals in the security industries and we have a history of successfully raising capital.

2.         We know investors and lenders (“Capital Providers”) with a definite interest in the industries in which we work.

3.         We are not merely finders.  We actively help prepare our client companies for transactions with Capital Providers. 

4.         We provide objective third-party valuations, critique (or prepare) business plans and organize supporting due diligence materials.

5.         We spearhead your capital-raising project.  We keep it on schedule and help the management reserve its time to focus on running the business.

6.         We increase the probability of a successful financing and we reduce the risks of failure or extensive delay.

7.         We have the experience to arrange better and more successful deals for our clients. 

A Capital Provider and a company's management will likely work together for three to seven years.  In order to make this profitable and successful for both, a transaction has to be a win-win for all parties. 

We believe neither party gains unless a deal between a company and a Capital Provider is designed for both groups to profit and meet their internal goals; as expected, this is a fine line to walk.  However, LVI’s greatest strength is understanding each party’s goals and crafting appropriate terms to resolve conflicts that might come up.
