ENABLING BUSINESSES TO SCALE FASTER AND MORE PROFITABLY
Who is it For?
The SCALE 2 GROW investment fund is an Angel investment fund set up to support businesses who are looking to scale up to the next level of growth through investments between £25,000 - £250,000. The investment fund is aimed at accelerating business growth. It is not a method for clearing existing debt. The fund provides a line of credit for growth activities which could include product development; increased production facilities; new hires or any other purpose that will lead to increased scale.
The Application Process
Complete the initial pre-qualification form to check suitability. This is the online form below! There are a short number of questions and you can also upload a pdf of any supporting material for your application. This step is pre-qualification. You do not need a 50-page investor pack (we will never ask for one of those!), just the outline of what you do, why you are great, and what your vision is for the business. When you submit the information you can book your discovery call.
If you have passed the pre-qualification eligibility then congratulations! Before we start the 3-4 week process there is a £2,000+VAT charge if you are seeking investment of up to £125,000. If you are seeking investment of up to £250,000 then there is an additional on-site 3 day assessment and report and so the cost of application is £5,000+VAT.
We now will onboard and work with you and your management team to help you create or fine-tune your growth plan. In addition to in-person support you have access to our scaling toolbox of over 30 online practical tools, documents and exercises to help you really understand your business as it currently is and the use of additional funds. We also ask for your accountant to provide certain financial documents such as a cashflow forecast; balance sheet and profit & loss statement.
Investment decision. We will have met you and visited your business during the investor readiness step. The final submission will be an impact canvas and scaling canvas. We will sit and talk through these documents face to face and then provide a decision. If the decision is a YES(!) then we will make an offer. If the decision is no then we will provide feedback on why the decision was not to offer investment and potentially offer alternatives to investment to support your business or even introductions to other potential investors.
The Output
At the end of the application process, whether you have received an offer or not, you are in possession of a robust, resilient scaling up growth plan that, in the process of its creation, will also have put your existing business processes, strategy, people and overall sustainability under the microscope. In addition ongoing mentorship and consulting support will be available.
