Funding, Financing & Raising Investment
Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing most great ideas is money. Or lack there of.
This is where we can really help turn the tables and make sure that your idea doesn't just sit on a scrap of paper on your desk until one day you discover someone else has gone ahead and done it. It can be hugely frustrating, we know from experience.
When I was 18 years old, I had the idea for Netflix - an online video and series streaming service. But, at that time in my life I had no connections, no contacts and no idea how to turn that thought into anything more. It is the position that so many other would be entrepreneurs have no doubt found themselves have also found themselves in. Our mission at Altitude is to never let that happen to anyone again.

Investment Implications
You may well be thinking "what is in it for the investors?" and you'd be right to think that way. They are going to want something, typically this is a cut of your business - known as equity. But, by having us on your side, we make sure your shareholder agreements keep you in control of your company, keep you protected and don't contain issues that may cause you problems in the future. We work with a number of experienced specialist company law solicitors who will make sure you are safeguarded.
We help you understand how much you're looking to raise for investment and what percentage of the company you'll be giving away for that amount and how you might want to break the company share allocation down to maintain your position as founder and controlling shareholder.
