Bonsai Growth was established with the specific goal and focus to assist Canadian companies with their financing and strategic needs. Our team has over 20 years of experience in this field, honing our craft in assisting companies with creative solutions to reach their business objectives. We offer non-dilutive financing solutions by leveraging tax credits, government initiatives and receivables that allow access to the funds faster. We can also provide and facilitate matching funds to help unlock government programs that require cash contributions
Companies usually have two options for capital – Dilutive or Non-Dilutive. Dilutive capital generally requires founders to give up equity while non-dilutive capital, such as debt and grants allow a company to retain their equity and sell it at a later date at ideally a higher valuation.
Each have their general pros and cons:
Pros
Cons
-Typically, the cheaper form of financing in the short term
-Can find strategic investors
-Can potentially lead to control issues as the company is in growth mode
-Longer closing and diligence times
Pros
Cons
-Allows a company to hold onto their equity while working towards growing their valuation
-Quick turn around times to capital deployment
-Some funders can help with partners and resources for growth
-Can leverage assets like tax credits and grants that other investors may not
-Can be more expensive than dilutive financing in the short term
We are strong believers in non-dilutive financing being the way a company can maximize their future growth. This is because holding onto your company shares allows for greater options in the future by allowing for an equity raise when the timing makes the most sense. The higher short term costs tied to non-dilutive financing should be outweighed by the benefits in the long term and control.
