No member login required · Optional PDF pitch deck
A company seeking capital for a repeatable, established business has a different investment case from an early-stage company testing its product. Describe which stage you are at, why equity suits the plan and what kind of investor involvement you want. Cubin also considers early-stage opportunities; a private-equity label is not required.
Explain recurring and one-off revenue, customer concentration, working-capital needs and cash generation. Reconcile reported earnings with any adjusted figures. Make liabilities, existing investor rights and related-party relationships visible so an investor can assess the business beyond headline revenue.
Specify whether you seek a minority investment, are open to a larger ownership change or want capital alongside strategic support. Describe management continuity, governance expectations and the plan for creating value. Any investment structure remains subject to discussion and diligence.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Reported EBITDA | 1.20 |
| Proposed one-off cost adjustment | +0.10 |
| Proposed adjusted EBITDA | 1.30 |
| Remove adjustment because the cost was paid in the period | −0.10 |
| Working-capital cash absorption | −0.25 |
| Cash interest and tax | −0.20 |
| Equipment expenditure | −0.15 |
| Illustrative cash remaining before debt principal and distributions | 0.60 |
This simplified example assumes no other reconciling items. It is not an audited cash-flow statement, valuation or investment benchmark. An adjustment to reported earnings does not reverse a cash payment. Explain and support each adjustment rather than assuming an investor will accept it.
Show opening cash, closing cash and debt movements in the actual company model. Identify which expenditure maintains the current business and which supports new growth. Keep historical results separate from the value-creation plan.
To assess the relationship, compare investor mandate fit.
Next, turn the cash forecast into a funding request.
For group boundaries, map the group and governance perimeter.
Ownership percentage is only part of the discussion. Board representation, voting rights and reserved decisions also matter. State your objectives early; the actual governance arrangement depends on negotiated terms and professional review.
Describe the two components separately. New share proceeds fund the company; a purchase from an existing shareholder provides that shareholder with liquidity. State the proposed amounts and rationale for each so investors can evaluate the request clearly.
