Fundraising Case Study - Leopolis Group

Context

Local ceramic producer aimed to scale up production capabilities. The company has a significant share of export in the revenue and tried to catch the opportunity to increase its share in the international market. There was growing international demand on ceramic products so the producer should have acted quickly on supply side.

Problem

The scale-up program required additional quick funding. Attracting additional capital in equity was not an option. Current investors did not have additional capital to provide this investment and they protested equity diluting by the third party. The company asked for help with attracting loans for investments in the CAPEX from the financial market.
