CASE STUDY
Support for growing global business
Business Type: Digital Marketing Agency
Industry: Technology
Global Reach: Australia and US
Lantern Partners teamed up with a growing Australian business that had recently completed a capital raise to fund expansion into the US. As a result, it needed additional commercial finance support to grow its in-house finance support, manage the overseas compliance requirements and increase the quality of board and shareholder reporting.
We worked with the business to transition the financing requirements with EFIC and manage cashflow through the expansion. We are now working with the business through the next stage of its amazing growth.
CASE STUDY
Preparation for sale, deal support and post transaction support
Business Type: Content Marketing Agency
Industry: Communications
Global Reach: APAC, US and UK
Lantern Partners worked with this content marketing agency to prepare them for the sale of their business. In collaboration with the executive team, we built a financial model that reflected the historical results and key business drivers so they could articulate the trajectory of the business clearly.
We led the agency’s small finance team, including recruiting a vacant finance manager role, to prepare the data room for due diligence while ensuring the historical results were accurate and supportable. We also provided transaction support to the business through the due diligence process, working with the broker and legal advisors to provide supplementary information to potential acquirers.
After the successful completion of the deal, Lantern Partners worked with the listed acquiring company to integrate the financials of the business and also the finance team. This involved providing monthly group reporting and forecasting and adapting the format to the new group requirements. We also assisted in recruiting further finance staff to support the growing business.
