Growth capital is the fuel for small to mid-size companies. Without it a company cannot grow to its full potential. And, without it a company may have to weather an unnecessary liquidity crisis. The common refrain that "growth kills" would be better stated as "the absence of capital kills."

Equity Capital

At Axxien, our principals have successfully raised over $70 million in equity capital. We understand how to communicate with the investor community. In the end, it is the quality of communication which makes the difference. Everyone has a story about an extremely qualified company that could not prevail in its pursuit of capital. In our judgment, the difference is not the quality of the company, its management, or its products and services, but rather it is the quality of the message presented to the investors. Of course substance is critically important; however, one could easily argue that the relative differences in quality are somewhat marginal when comparing a quality company which receives capital and another which does not. The area where the differences are quite stark is in the area of communication and presentation.

Axxien's capital raising services comprise four key elements. First, we take the time to understand the client's company and its objectives. Second, we apply the full weight of our experience to reformulating the message. For example, this may require a more focused Private Placement Memorandum or a pitch deck designed for a particular segment of the venture capital community. Third, we coach the company's owners and top executives on what to expect from the investor community. We educate our clients on what motivates an investor to sign up. We describe their investment criteria; we discuss their likely concerns and their likely risk perceptions. And fourth, we actively participate in the engagement phase with the investor community. We are tireless and passionate advocates for our clients.

In addition to communication, another critical ingredient for success is access. Axxien possesses strong relationships within the private equity, venture capital, and angel investor community. In addition, Axxien possesses an extremely strong relationship with the legal community that supports the private equity and venture capital community. Through these relationships, we can assure a pathway to almost any private equity or venture capital firm on the strength of a pre-existing personal relationship. This door opening capability insures that our clients will get the fair shake that most companies will never have.

Debt Capital

In addition to equity capital, Axxien provides consulting and loan brokerage services for clients seeking debt capital. From acquisition financing to restructuring existing debt and from lines of credit to government-guarantee programs, Axxien has the experience and contacts necessary to close your deal.

We maintain a broad array of relationships with commercial banks and other sources of debt financing. Also, we are extremely familiar with the Small Business Administration's 7A and 504 loan programs.
