Build the right blended finance roadmap for growth and transformation
Access to Finance Support helps SMEs explore and prepare for the most suitable finance options to support growth, innovation, or transformation.
Inventya delivers this service through a blended finance approach, helping businesses look beyond a single funding route and instead assess the most suitable mix of finance for their stage, ambitions, and funding needs. Depending on the business, this may include non-dilutive finance such as grant and R&D tax, equity readiness, debt readiness, and internal financial planning.
A core part of the service is the development of a practical financial model to support roadmap planning. Alongside this, the service includes a review of suitable finance options, financial readiness considerations, and support with key figures to help businesses prepare for future funding discussions. This helps the business assess future cash needs, key milestones, funding timing, and the potential impact of different finance scenarios. The service is designed to give businesses a clearer funding roadmap, stronger financial readiness, and a more structured basis for future funding discussions.
