Why Does a Business Need Investor Relations Support?

As businesses grow, so do their relationships with external stakeholders. Funded businesses need strong investor relations to help build trust, maintain transparency, and foster confidence in the company’s management, prospects, and likelihood of a good return on the investor’s money. Fostering collaborative relations with your investor also puts the businesses in a better position to attract future funding.

What Does The Service Look Like?

We will provide an experienced Fractional CFO with the practical know-how to help you develop a strong investor relations strategy. Building a plan requires a strategic approach focusing on communication, transparency and ongoing engagement. Although every business is unique, our CFOs will follow a proven process to prepare your business for investment:

Step 1 – Initial Review: We start by engaging with your investors to identify their needs, priorities, and expectations, reviewing your current practices, and identifying gaps.

Step 2 – Develop a Communication Plan: We create a tailored communication plan detailing how and when updates will be shared and if any tailored messaging is required.

Step 3 – Enhance Reporting and Transparency: At this stage, we are looking at how to improve the quality of financial reporting, providing more detailed real-time data on performance risks and growth opportunities as well as reporting non-financial metrics to provide a more holistic view of the company’s progress.

Step 4 – Strengthen Investor Engagement: Build a schedule for and host both in-person and virtual meetings to keep the investors informed and involved.

Step 5 – Monitor and Adapt: Regularly Assess the effectiveness of your investor relations efforts by tracking feedback, engagement levels and market perception.

Step 6 – Future Investment Rounds: If additional funding is required, we will help you prepare the necessary plans to secure investment from either your existing or new investors.
