Preparing your approach
Assess the sale price, acquisition costs, working capital requirements, post-takeover investments and repayment capacity. Compare financing scenarios and anticipate the guarantees or conditions imposed by lenders and investors.
Points of caution
Contribution ratios and terms are not universal. Have the plan validated by the advisors and funders involved in the file; do not confuse an equity stake with a loan or a grant.
Does the CCI directly finance the project?
Most often, it informs, guides and supports. The decision rests with the funder of the scheme, unless a mechanism is explicitly confirmed by an official source.
When should the terms be checked?
Before any spending commitment or application, with the relevant funder and based on its current rules.
