hi there welcome to business growth
[4]
driver number five finance absolutely
[7]
finance can help you grow your business
[9]
so I'm gonna cover two specific things
[11]
here number one why do you want to get
[13]
finance external finance to fund your
[15]
growth and number two what sort of key
[18]
things do you need to have in place to
[20]
be able to attract the right type of
[22]
finance so the first thing why do you
[25]
need finance to grow you need finance to
[27]
grow in a number of different ways you
[30]
could be looking to expand into new
[31]
market you could be looking to acquire a
[35]
human capital and get the right talent
[37]
in place you could be looking to develop
[42]
new products or services or you may be
[44]
looking to expand the reach through
[47]
marketing so finance is required in
[50]
terms of that and that can really help
[52]
accelerate the growth of a good company
[54]
okay now let's get into how do we
[57]
attract finance and particularly what I
[60]
want to talk about is private equity
[63]
private private equity is when a company
[68]
lend you money
[69]
a group of finance hears and they take a
[71]
shareholding in your company so they're
[74]
invested in that particular way and this
[77]
is the DNA money from this week and it's
[82]
showing here that P back companies
[85]
outperform you know various companies on
[89]
the Sensex listed companies etc and
[93]
they're able to show that you know the
[96]
revenue growth of P back companies over
[100]
a five-year period is 40 percent as
[102]
opposed to just 18 percent for the nifty
[106]
mid-cap or just 15 percent for long pbot
[109]
listed companies the asset growth is
[112]
also 46 percent higher compared to just
[117]
16 percent with non PE back listed
[120]
companies and 18% for Sensex companies
[124]
so private equity can really play an
[127]
incredible role in helping you grow your
[131]
business further and there's some key
[133]
elements that you need to have
[135]
place to be able to attract private
[137]
equity to your business the first thing
[139]
I think it's really important to get the
[141]
right mindset in place and grow and
[144]
treat your business like you're going to
[146]
sell it and that way what will happen is
[148]
you'll set up the processes and etc in
[151]
place that will help your business grow
[155]
professionally and work without you and
[158]
you'll have made up your mind that yes
[161]
you are willing to give away a little
[164]
bit of control and shareholding and
[166]
that's an important part so that's the
[168]
first part the second thing which is
[171]
important is you need to have a strong
[173]
corporate finance team and this is where
[176]
getting the right human talent is really
[179]
important you need to have strong
[182]
financial discipline in the way that
[184]
everything works there needs to be clear
[187]
transparency as well and a good strong
[191]
solid team can help you get all of those
[193]
particular things in place lenders want
[196]
to know that they're getting accurate
[199]
information they're able to help you
[202]
move the business forward the third
[204]
thing is to make sure that you both have
[207]
strong cash flows and profitability it's
[210]
not just good having profitability by
[213]
itself
[213]
they say the revenue is vanity and
[217]
profit is sanity so it's really
[220]
important that you have strong cash
[221]
flows because the P firm is going to be
[224]
giving you the money based on future
[227]
cash flow so it's important to have
[230]
strong cash flows in place and you need
[232]
to have a business model that is able to
[234]
generate that in lastly you want to make
[237]
sure that there is strong governance
[240]
there's strong controls in place and
[242]
there's transparency in the way in which
[245]
your company operates there's nothing
[248]
that will make a investor more concerned
[252]
than you know people not being
[255]
transparent so it's really important to
[257]
have good strong governance and
[259]
transparency in place so that you're
[263]
able to attract the right finance so
[265]
that you're able to grow
