Planning & Funding

Helping you to successfully raise capital

Are you looking to initiate a project or raise capital?

SYKAM can assist you with:

Strategic Planning across the business, with the aim of developing a 5 to 10 year roadmap
Financial Modelling for specific projects, new business streams and potential investments
Cash flow modelling and risk management
Budget preparations, performance targets and KPIs with a focus on ensuring strategic plans are met

At SYKAM we have many years of financial experience at senior levels including, energy, food and manufacturing and in particular property development. We have participated in teams that have developed new products, successfully bid for funding and evaluated the purchase of businesses up to £100m.

SYKAM provide investor-ready documentation in a format that investors expect and that has the level of research and rigour to stand up to the closest scrutiny.

Cash flow and P&L forecasts are an essential part of raising capital for any project. However, when presented properly, another key function is to deepen the management team’s understanding of how a business will perform.

We prepare plans in a collaborative and integrated fashion – although doing so can take longer, the business owner can walk away knowing they own the results.

"I have worked with Stuart since 2010 on several projects spanning property development, energy, motor vehicles and most recently beverages. Together we have created 5 and 10-year Strategic Plans, evaluated businesses for purchase and gone through several rounds of funding aimed at raising funds in the £ millions. I regard Stuart as an essential part of my management team which was why, when one of my current ventures needed to start a new round of fund raising, he was the first person I contacted. Stuart is an easy person to get on with and has excellent attention to detail – I have no hesitation in recommending him."

"Stuart at SYKAM has been instrumental to our business developing from start up to maturity. Stuart himself is a great guy, very personable and always available to help. He has always taken the time to explain everything fully to me so I could make informed decisions with our accounting and financial planning. We would certainly recommend Stuart as an accountant and business advisor."

“I transferred my business to SYKAM and can honestly say it’s the best decision I have made. I have been trading for over 8 years and have now found a firm of accountants who treat me and my business as one of the family! Their communication is excellent, and you always feel welcome no matter how or when you contact them. The comfort I now feel in knowing that the accountancy and tax needs of my business are covered to the highest of standards has allowed me to pursue other aspects of my business to ensure its growth and success. I would definitely recommend SYKAM, you will not be disappointed.”

“As a new, fast-growing business with previously limited knowledge or accounting and tax, Leanne has supported and educated us, giving us the confidence and tools to continue growing our business. The expertise and guidance have always been first class. We look forward to continuing to work with Leanne, Stuart and the team at SYKAM for many years to come.”
