Investor & Lender Information Packs
Financial reports, forecasts and supporting information for lenders, investors and other stakeholders.
Overview
How we help with Investor & Lender Information Packs
Investors and lenders form a view of management from the quality of the reporting as much as from the numbers in it. Consistent, well-presented information buys credibility.
We prepare the recurring pack your stakeholders expect: performance against plan, cash position and forecast, covenant compliance where it applies, and commentary that explains variances rather than restating them. The format stays consistent so trends are visible period to period.
For fundraising or refinancing we prepare the fuller information required for due diligence, including the historic analysis and forecast support that lenders and investors work through.

FAQs
Investor & Lender Information Packs: common questions
How often do lenders expect reporting?
It depends on the facility. Quarterly management accounts and covenant certificates are common; some facilities require monthly information.
What if we are going to breach a covenant?
Tell the lender early, with a forecast and a plan. Breaches discovered by the lender are handled far less sympathetically than ones disclosed in advance.
Can you prepare the pack in our own format, or do we have to use yours?
We build the pack around whatever template your investor, board or lender already expects, rather than asking you to adopt ours. Consistency period to period matters more than the specific layout.
Do you attend the investor or lender meeting with us?
We can, if it's useful. Most clients want us on the call for the numbers-heavy discussion, particularly around covenant headroom or variance questions, then step back for the wider strategic conversation.
