Sorry I missed you
Hi there, it’s Andrew from Hermes Capital.
I have not had much success reconnecting with you.
I just need to know whether or not to keep trying. To make it nice and easy for you, reply to my SMS with a simple keystroke and I will know what do to. But please do reply so I can stop calling if you are not interested. Reply with A, B, C, D or E.
A. Stop calling me with attempts to connect but continue to email me.
B. Don’t contact me, remove me from your list. We don’t currently and won’t ever need your help.
C. I want to talk, we need some help, but the timing isn’t right. Keep trying.
D. I would like to schedule a time to talk. We need some help. Please send your calendar link.
E. I forgot who you are. What’s this about?
Thank you.
Regards
Andrew

Capital raising in a post Royal Commission world
How does a start-up business raise money against used trucks in a post Royal Commission environment?
The owner of a transport business passed away and the deceased estate could find no more a suitable buyer than the business’ general manager (GM).
The GM set up a new entity for the purpose of completing the acquisition. As such, it was deemed a “new business” and was the first deterrent for traditional lenders, despite the fact that cash flow forecasts demonstrated a capacity to service.
Side venture mishap costs regional transport business
This month’s case study highlights a special situations case where a transport company was depleted of its cash resources after the directors invested in a pub.
The cash burn on the pub venture led to ATO arrears in the transport business, ultimately making it impossible to fund the business through traditional means.
Funding a mining services business re-boot
Recently, a mining services business dealing with the wet & dry hire of equipment encountered setbacks in the mobilisation of large contracts, after the fleet had been largely either mothballed or retrenched. Despite the long-standing business being historically successful, recent financial data indicated a lack of serviceability – bringing the business to a standstill. The need for funding new equipment, re-certification of mothballed equipment and further working capital was apparent, with a total funding requirement estimated for $1M.
