BUSINESS PLAN SERVICES THAT RAISE CAPITAL FOR GROWING COMPANIES
Lantern Capital Advisors successfully helps companies raise capital in order to accelerate growth, execute management buyouts, acquire companies or provide owners’ liquidity on an hourly fee basis. Lantern can also provides on-going advisory services to guide clients as they continue to grow, secure additional financing or consider events such as initial public offerings or sale of the company. Lantern's Unique Approach, Objectivity and Unmatched Value Most other financial advisors raise capital using an investment banking fee formula. Through this approach, the advisor is typically paid a large cash fee and receives company stock. The advisor’s compensation often varies substantially depending on the type and amount of capital raised (i.e. equity vs. debt). We believe this approach results in excess compensation to the advisor, creates conflicts of interest and needlessly dilutes the Company’s existing equity holders. Lantern’s project fees are hourly and require no additional stock or equity compensation. HOW WE DO IT Lantern Capital Advisors team of professionals work as long as it takes to successfully secure business financing for our clients on an hourly fee basis. Our typical business plan takes two to four weeks to complete prior to sending out to institutions. Based on the financing required, clients can expect funding in three to six months post project kick off. Our hourly based deliverable approach guarantees to our clients that a longer process does not mean a more costly process. We don't bill on a percentage of financing basis because we feel that those methods have a way of inflating themselves without the value being delivered in the end. Our business plans stay on budget. Our professional fees don't change. Our billing rates don't change. Out of pocket expenses are reasonable. There are no surcharges or add ons. Our consultants are not pressured to bill hours to clients. Our engagements and payment schedules are structured to allow our clients to manage cash flow and demonstrate our commitment and investment to the capital raising process. There are no surprise bills at the end of an engagement, or more fees that were not declared prior to the start of the engagement. We write business plans with financial models and get them funded. Lantern Capital Advisors prides itself on being FAST, EFFICIENT, and COST EFFECTIVE. Once institutions deliver financing proposals to our clients, we work with our clients to ensure they understand all of the financing solutions presented, analyze the proposals to compare them against one another, negotiate the proposals on behalf of our clients, and consult with our clients throughout due diligence and funding in order to secure the best outcome for the business owner. Lantern performs all work on a hourly fee-only basis. Fees are scoped at the project onset. Our consultants work with our clients achieving each milestone to ensure their satisfaction along the way. Simply put, we are committed to deliver superior service and guarantee results. Our success is measured not on fees collected, but on deals getting done.
