The Company needs to receive fresh capital

The shareholder thinks of investing in the company and wants to do it advisedly with full knowledge of facts.

Apart from the specific case of financing growth, fresh capital can be necessary if the company has gone through a period of degraded profitability. The decision to invest new capital is all the more difficult to take, especially when there has not been enough transparency in the dialogue between the company and the shareholder.

The financial audits are not a perfect solution :

  • they do not highlight the priorities and cannot lead to an operational strategy,
  • per se, they do not contribute to revitalize the company.

FONTENAY MANAGERS brings transparency and promotes the dialogue between the shareholder and the top executive thanks to a targeted intervention:

A PROFESSIONAL TRANSITION MANAGER INSTEAD OF A FINANCIAL AUDIT:
The financial audit can be necessary in case of extreme difficulties with legal risks. However, in general, an operational manager, thanks to his experienced point of view, is able to identify the priorities and to integrate the human factor, which is the best way to confirm the objectives of an investment, while giving pertinence to the dialogue between the shareholder and the executive.
