Our Process
Companies wishing to engage with the HBAN syndicates and network must submit an application for funding here. There is an administration fee of €150 plus VAT. Please feel free to contact the HBAN team to discuss prior to submission of an application. We will follow up to arrange a one to one meeting to discuss the investment opportunity in greater detail and will work with you to get you in front of our investor base.
If there is sufficient interest you will be invited to pitch at one of our investor syndicate meetings. Prior to your pitch you will undergo one on one coaching with the HBAN team to tailor your pitch to the relevant investor group.
Please note; raising private finance takes time with a lot of discussion and negotiation required before an actual cash investment takes place. It also involves a legal process including due diligence undertaken by the investor and the signing of shareholders agreements. You need to be prepared to put the time and resources required into the process before you start.
