Investing institutions must believe that the Company’s business plan is both strategic and attainable.  To illustrate to investors the viability of the Company’s capacity to grow, the business plan must include historical and projected financials.

We write comprehensive business plans that contain a prioritized growth strategy.  We ensure that our business plans are attainable and the capital requirement is realistic.  We analyze the many methods available in the capital markets to help finance the growth of a business.  We help management determine the financing option that best positions the company for the future.

Lantern has a well-defined, proven capital raising process.  We have completed business plans and received term sheets within one month of starting an engagement.  However, most of our clients, due to the time constraints of running a business, typically take four to six months to complete the funding process (Due diligence pace, set by financing sources, average 45 days).  Knowing this, our work plans are tied to specific tasks, and our process can match the speed and pace of our clients.
