Is it ever too early for a company to use equity to raise funds?

Investors can provide not only growth capital, but also valuable advice, sector expertise and industry connections.

Times have moved on, however, and selling equity to investors is a normal step in many companies’ growth and development. Entrepreneurs now realise that investors can offer more than cash, bringing valuable expertise and established business networks to support the company on its growth journey.
