Capital allocation and capital management decisions are the foundations of determining a company窶冱 future size, profile, rate of growth and dividend affordability, and therefore are some of the most important decision made by management and Boards. Some companies have a more opportunistic 窶惑irst come first served窶� approach to capital management without a formal process and clear linkages to strategy.
Mainsheet assists clients to take the discipline of the external capital market and apply them by creating an 窶亙nternal capital market窶� to formalise these decisions and ensure they are aligned to the strategy, are fact-based, are achievable by the company, have acceptable risks and are value creating.
Our services include:
- Capital management policy and processes
- Expert capital project reviews
- Capital structure and cash flow reviews
- Business valuation model development
- Capital investment process reviews
- Expert investment case development
