Equity fundraising and business growth advisors

TRUSTED BY FOUNDERS, STARTUPS & SMEs

Dragon Argent are advisors, not brokers and we always act with our client’s best interests and desired outcomes front and centre.

We provide incisive, inspirational strategic advice. We are ‘hands on’ and bring rare and real coal-face experience to every aspect of your business. We engage with founders, investors, managers, and stakeholders to understand their actual requirements before identifying and delivering an appropriate bespoke solution. 

We believe in building long-term relationships, taking clients from inception to exit. And if the path is bumpier than anticipated, we excel at rescuing and reinvigorating good businesses failing to achieve their potential due to complexities of people, politics, product, place, process, or pricing.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOUR BUSINESS

Unique, consultative support combining expertise across a range of professional disciplines. We’ll help you formulate the right plan efficiently.

 

Vision & Growth Strategy

Achieving your growth ambition as you navigate the challenges of building and scaling your enterprise starts with strong business planning. We’ll guide you through the strategic and operational requirements for fast and sustainable growth as you build traction, helping you get clarity on your goals and the step-by-step plan to achieve them. 

 

Corporate Governance

Once your startup is built and scaling, you’ll need a system of rules, practices, and processes by which the company is directed and controlled. Dragon Argent advisory team will help you define a fit for purpose framework that protects your businesses short term and long term interests by enhancing your enterprise value, through compliant administration, for any liquidity event.

 

Fundraising Strategy

We’ll help you put in place the solid foundation on which all successful funding strategies are built. We’ll work with you to formulate a clear business plan, financial model and investment deal as well as an engaging pitch deck. We’ll co-create the go-to-market strategy, stress test your presentation skills and support you through every stage of your investment campaign through to closing your deal.

 

Building Enterprise Value

If your leadership team is working toward an exit or an investment, it’s critical to identify, understand and focus on the factors that drive enterprise value. Our approach removes assumption by working through a strategic process with you to determine current and potential value and support you in achieving your ambition as you build out your core assets and capabilities.

 

Non-Executive Directorship

Our advisors act as NEDs, bringing a fresh and impartial perspective to strategic discussions. We bring extensive commercial experience to bear for a client, usually in tandem with our knowledge of the legal framework and latest financial reporting of the business, for an invaluable and comprehensive contribution in key strategic decisions.

 

Corporate Structure

An inappropriate corporate structure can frustrate an entrepreneur’s growth plans, increase tax liability, and put the long-term interests of shareholders at risk. We’ll work with you to put in place a robust, fit for purpose structure that protects the IP or assets your business is built on, mitigates risk, and offers the flexibility to capitalise on expansion or disposal opportunities.
