FOR COMPANIES SEEKING CAPITAL
Approach family-office capital with a clear view of ownership, reporting and the investment horizon. Build a proposal that can be assessed on its business merits.
No member login required · Optional PDF pitch deck
Family offices can have different priorities across company investment, property and other assets. A proposal should make clear what is being funded: an operating company, a particular project or an existing ownership interest. Do not infer an investment mandate from an office location or assume all family offices offer patient capital on the same terms.
Explain who controls the company today, who makes key decisions and what investor involvement would be welcome. Outline the financial reporting currently available and any improvements needed. A long-term plan should still explain cash requirements, risks and potential liquidity routes; it should not depend on an investor accepting indefinite uncertainty.
List decisions that management currently makes: annual budgets, borrowing, senior appointments, issuing new equity and selling material assets. For each, show the existing decision-maker and the approvals already required. Use this as a discussion worksheet, not a proposed legal agreement. It helps both sides identify where an incoming shareholder might expect consultation and where the founder needs operating flexibility.
Separate the company’s need for new cash from an existing shareholder’s wish to sell. Explain whether the business plans to reinvest earnings or might distribute cash, and what assumptions support that view. A future sale or listing is a possibility to examine, not a scheduled source of repayment. Ask how the prospective investor evaluates holding periods and future funding needs; do not infer those preferences from the family-office label.
Start with a concise non-confidential deck and a clear request. A detailed data room is more useful once both sides establish relevance and agree how information should be shared. Avoid sending customer records or sensitive agreements in the initial contact.
