Mark your calendars! Grosvenor House is thrilled to announce the next exclusive gathering of the Grosvenor Business Club, featuring a guest speaker who will deliver a truly high-impact session on the complexities of business finance and growth.
Join us for an evening of invaluable insights, networking, and candid conversation about the journey that all ambitious business owners face: capital, scaling, and exit.
Special Guest Spotlight: The Full Capital Journey
We are immensely excited to host Kate Cooper-Fay, CEO of the renowned firm Cooper-Fay Harris.
Kate is stepping away from the typical playbook to give us an unfiltered, high-impact session: “The Full Capital Journey and What Nobody Tells You About Raising, Scaling and Exiting.”
In today’s dynamic market, capital is complex, taking the form of equity, debt, hybrid instruments, or acquisition financing. Kate’s session will explore the full end-to-end journey, focusing on how to prepare, position, and perform at every stage of your business’s evolution.
What You Will Learn
Drawing on the trusted global methodology of Cooper-Fay Harris, Kate will share the insights, lessons, and stories that most founders never hear. Expect an essential blend of real-world experience and strategic clarity as she unpacks:
- Preparation: How to get your business ready for capital at every stage, from Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to multi-million-pound growth.
- Funding Options: The key differences between raising equity, securing debt, or structuring hybrid capital.
- The M&A Mechanics: A deep dive into the nuts and bolts of acquisitions, carve-outs, and buy-side strategies.
- Investor Mindset: What investors and lenders really want to see when assessing your business.
- Value Optimisation: How to de-risk your business, maintain control, and optimise value throughout the lifecycle.
- The Exit Reality: What no one tells you about the emotional, strategic, and financial journey to a successful exit.
This session is a must-attend for founders seeking their first round of debt, leaders considering M&A, or owners planning their eventual exit. Get the tools, frameworks, and foresight you need to navigate your capital journey with confidence.
