Complete Your Funding Round With The Key Documents, Approvals And Closing Steps Aligned

Usually, yes. This service is commonly used when the commercial position is largely settled and the main task is getting the legal documents, approvals and completion steps into the right order. That can include subscription or investment documents, board resolutions, shareholder approvals and founder sign-off materials. If the deal is still being negotiated at a high level, a term sheet or broader fundraising advice service may be a better starting point. This service is more about getting the round over the line properly than setting the headline commercial terms from scratch.

Closing issues often come from gaps between the agreed deal and the company paperwork. Common examples include missing approval rights under the constitution or shareholders agreement, inconsistent cap table information, unsigned founder consents, or uncertainty about which documents need to be completed before funds move. Problems can also surface where prior investor rights affect the issue of new shares. We help identify those pressure points in the closing set so the documents and process are aligned before completion steps are taken.

It commonly covers the main legal documents and approval materials needed to complete the round. That may include the core investment or subscription documents, board and shareholder resolutions, founder consent or disclosure documents, and a checklist that maps the path to signing and completion. Depending on the transaction, we may also review how existing shareholder arrangements or company records affect the closing pathway. The aim is to support the final legal implementation of the round, not just produce one isolated document.

A top up round service is usually more about the structure of a follow-on raise and how new capital fits with earlier funding terms, investor rights and dilution issues. This closing service is different because it is aimed at the final execution stage of the round itself. The focus is on getting the transaction documents, approvals and completion sequence ready for signing and issue. If your main concern is how the new raise should be structured against prior rounds, another service may fit better before closing work begins.

The fixed-fee is intended for the core work described on this page. If the matter expands into extensive negotiations, unusual side arrangements, major constitutional changes, or broader transaction management, we would discuss a further scope before doing that extra work. This is important because some rounds begin as a standard close but later involve additional investor demands or historical document issues. Tax and accounting consequences may need separate advice, and ongoing representation after completion is not part of this service unless separately arranged.
