A common question
What can go wrong at closing?
Shares issued before approvals, pricing below fair value for foreign investors, missed filings after allotment, or a cap table that does not match the register.
Each one becomes a problem in the next round's diligence. Handled in order at closing, they do not.

Questions we get asked
Fundraising Transaction Support: Questions, Answered
Do you negotiate the term sheet?
No. Terms are negotiated by the founders with their lawyers; we advise on the finance and tax effects and handle closing compliance.
Who issues the valuation report for the round?
A registered valuer or other professional the rules specify; we coordinate it.
What filings follow a round?
The return of allotment with the Registrar, FEMA reporting for foreign investors, and updates to registers and the cap table.
Can you handle CCPS or convertible notes?
Yes, including approvals, issue and reporting; your lawyer drafts the instrument terms.
