Who Are Mill Wood Finance?

Since 1999 we have been helping businesses to access bespoke borrowing solutions, and to approach corporate debt with a strategic vision.

Our Ethos:

At Mill Wood Finance, we provide our customers with the professionalism, courtesy and service that is expected in all parts of our everyday lives.

Our Services

We work for our clients and not the banks that we have relationships with. We take the time to understand our customer's financial requirements and situation, before helping to advise and broker financial products best suited to them.

Unlocking capital for your business.

Equity is a valuable resource and should be used with care. Poorly timed or inefficient equity decisions can dilute value, limit flexibility and create misalignment between shareholders and the business.

Mill Wood Finance provides equity optimisation consulting that helps businesses make informed decisions about how equity supports their wider funding strategy. This may involve reviewing the balance between debt and equity, preparing the business for investment, or ensuring existing equity is structured in a way that supports long-term objectives.

We help leadership teams understand when equity should be introduced, how much is appropriate and how it interacts with existing borrowing. Our role is to ensure equity strengthens the balance sheet and supports growth without being used unnecessarily where other funding options may be more efficient.

This advice is particularly relevant for businesses approaching a period of investment, ownership transition or accelerated growth.

How our expert advice will benefit you

At Mill Wood Finance, we work with businesses where equity decisions have a direct bearing on the future direction of the company. Whether that involves reviewing how equity is currently structured or preparing for something specific ahead, our role is to provide clear, independent advice so that equity is used in a way that genuinely benefits the business and its shareholders.

Strategic Equity Review

We review how equity is currently positioned within the business and whether it is being used efficiently. This includes assessing the relationship between equity and existing debt and identifying where the current balance may be costing the business more than it needs to. Where adjustments could improve the overall funding position, we set out the options clearly.

Preparing for Equity Events

When a business is approaching an investment round or a change in ownership or shareholder restructure, the way equity is arranged beforehand matters. We work with leadership teams to prepare the equity position in advance, making sure the business is presented clearly to investors or incoming shareholders. Existing stakeholders will understand the implications of any changes being proposed.
