Advisory
The task of securing investment in today’s economic climate is challenging. The regulations that surround it can be perplexing. We understand how difficult it can be to raise money to start a business or fuel a vision. Our role is simple; to advise and develop an offer (debt or equity) that maximises your resources and delivers the funding you seek in a simple, effective and compliant way.
Technology
All companies require funding at some point. Companies should be able to leverage their goodwill and brand to grow their business and present investment opportunities to friends, family, customers, suppliers and investors. Invisio is our integrated funding platform that allows our clients to incorporate funding campaigns into their existing infrastructure. They can leverage their digital assets and network to generate investor interest in an open, fair and compliant way.
Investor Documentation
The statements made in any offer need to detail the investment opportunity and represent everyone’s interests fairly. Misunderstanding and ambiguity can delay investment, increase costs or worse, lead to liability. We specialise in preparing investment memorandums and offering documents that meet the strict guidelines set by the FCA. When the investor document becomes an inducement, we ensure your terms and intentions are fair, clear and not misleading
Financial Promotions & Section 21 Compliance
Creating and promoting your offer in a clear, fair and not misleading way is central to our ethos. We do it because we believe it. The mediums for promotion in a digital world are vast. There are strict rules and guidelines to protect investors and govern those seeking investment. We developed our services to specialise in this specific area of legislation. We assist our clients in preparing a complete and successful offering in any asset class using a range of instruments or funding vehicles. The burden of compliance falls on us, leaving our clients to focus on their business and delivering their vision.
Capital Introduction
The introduction of capital beyond a company’s immediate reach is always a consideration. We firmly believe that leveraging your closest network and digital assets is the most important first step. Commitment from these early investors demonstrates that your vision for growth is credible and leads to attraction from investors further afield.
We have access to a range of networks and specialise in targeting prospective companies, as well as individuals. Many existing companies are looking for opportunities to grow and expand into new markets, or to identify synergies through new opportunities. Our specialist team focuses on identifying these companies and organisations that will be interested in your plans and we provide an early, and in many cases tax effective, opportunity to partner in your vision.
Technical Audit & Valuation
In a world built around technology, most visions and company growth plans are dependent on the technology that underpins them.
At Blue Water Capital & Compliance, our team of specialist technologists, with a depth of global experience, are on hand to review your business’s infrastructure, architecture, code, development practices, testing methodologies, security and tools.
A technical audit is not intended to assess an investment opportunity or provide opinion on its viability, but it is to confirm and qualify the technology disclosed to potential investors is what is being presented to them.
We specialise in ICO’s and whitepaper reviews to ensure investors are truly investing in what is presented to them. Reinforced with FCA Section 21 approval, this can be key in providing reassurance to those potential investors typically unfamiliar with the many forms of evolving technology.
Our Mission
We help all types of growth-focused businesses raise capital and create a business community in the process. We offer the advice and regulatory framework to embrace the success of a business and turn that into funding.
We deliver this through a simple, highly professional online process that protects and empowers the company, whilst helping with business growth and the generation of returns. We are the best funding option for the modern digital world – properly done and compliant with FCA regulations.
Our Vision
We believe all companies should be able to leverage their brand and goodwill to fuel their vision and growth. Through new technologies our vision is to allow companies to incorporate funding campaigns into their existing infrastructure. They can leverage their digital assets and network to generate investor interest in an open, fair and compliant way.
