Financeability standard

The “Investment Ready” label

A labelled file has passed the same checks an investment committee would run. For the company, it is a clear target. For the investor, it is time saved and risk documented.

What it changes, on both sides

For companies

A concrete target instead of a vague “you need to be ready”. You know exactly what stands between you and the label, in what order, and you meet investors with a file already verified by a third party.

For investors

A reliable first filter. A labelled file will not make the decision for you, but it will spare you the weeks lost on companies that were simply not in a state to be financed.

The five verified criteria

These are exactly the dimensions the Financeability Index measures. The Index places you for free; the label certifies, after verification, that you are there.

  1. 1

    Formalisation & compliance

    Registration up to date, tax and social obligations in order, separate business bank accounts.

  2. 2

    Accounting & financial steering

    Financial statements prepared, cash tracked monthly, margins known by product or service.

  3. 3

    Traction & market

    Activity documented with verifiable evidence, customer concentration measured, growth substantiated.

  4. 4

    Governance & team

    Capital formalised, shareholders' agreement in place, roles defined, key skills covered.

  5. 5

    Fundraising readiness

    Business plan and forecast up to date, need quantified, use of funds detailed, leadership ready to be accountable.

Earn the label

The label is issued after documentary verification and remains valid for twelve months.

What the label is not

The label attests to a level of preparation verified at a given date. It guarantees neither the company's success nor any return, and in no case constitutes an investment recommendation — no label can, and being wary of those claiming otherwise is part of an investor's job. It attests to one thing, precisely: the file is in order and the checks have been carried out.
