Funding Management — Capital Discipline for Strategic Growth
Funding Management is more than financing—it is a structured discipline. When properly embedded, it becomes the engine of investment readiness, valuation integrity, and long-term enterprise value.
At Changoo & Associates, we operate a lifecycle model spanning inception through deployment. Using proprietary diagnostics, lender-quality tooling, and deep sector expertise, we tighten governance, sharpen valuation, and increase investor confidence.
Our Lifecycle Model
Diagnose → Design → Secure → Deploy → Steward
- Diagnose – independent assessment of readiness, capital gaps, and risk posture.
- Design – capital stack architecture, terms, covenants, and use-of-proceeds mapping.
- Secure – targeted investor sequencing, price discovery, and term-sheet negotiation.
- Deploy – drawdown protocols, governance controls, variance-to-plan management.
- Steward – reporting cadence, covenant headroom, and value-creation PMO oversight.
Risk Profile Assessment (RPA)
Diagnostic clarity. Strategic precision.
Our proprietary Risk Profile Assessment (RPA) benchmarks organizations against institutional standards, surfacing the decisions that matter most:
- Capital Structuring Capabilities – leverage, covenants, intercreditor alignment.
- Target Raise vs. Intrinsic Valuation – right-sizing to minimize dilution and optimize cost of capital.
- Capital Deployment Sustainability – liquidity runway, phasing, and repayment logic.
- Operational Readiness Gaps – people, processes, and systems impacting fundability.
Deliverables: maturity heatmap, funding-readiness score, and a 90-day execution plan.
