Environmental projects include replanting trees to restore biodiversity in my local area. For me the biggest issue the world currently faces is the loss of biodiversity, this is not something can be reversed and the overdevelopment of our planet is moving the world towards a tipping point from which it will be problematic to recover.

There are developmental approaches such as using renewable energy which offer attractive solutions to reduce polution, the challenge is getting the general public to adopt these and making them both accessable and affordable for the average citizen this is the focus of my political and business activities, I am a regular investor in projects and busiesses which contribute to the movement of the World in what I believe to be the best and right direction.

Virtual CFO

 The mushrooming of the startup ecosystem has generated specialized service providers which fit the requirement of startups. Virtual CFO is one such specialized service provider. Startups normally do not have the resources to hire a full-time CFO. Startups like to keep fixed costs low and having outsourced service provider provides them with the flexibility of choosing services as and when required. A Virtual CFO provides strategic, value add services to a startup which cannot be provided by an accountant.In the United States, VCFO services are typically used by small to medium businesses with annual sales in excess of $1 million.

In today's podcast Adrian Lawrence our resident financial experts talks about Deliveroo and their plans for an £8billion IPO on the London stock market.  Deliveroo are only 8 years old but in that time have already grown to capture around 1/3 of the home food delivery market.   Their IPO timing is also shrewd coming shortly after the pandemic lockdowns means their trading will have benefited.  It is also a great endorsement of London and the London Stock market as a fund raising centre.

FD Capital on Google podcasts

 

At FD Capital we get regular calls from FD's interested in moving into Portfolio work, common questions include how easy is it to find Portfolio work?   You need to build up a network to be fully occupied and that takes time and effort, typically a day per week needs to be set aside for networking and reaching out to build up a network within the Private Equity and corporate finance spaces.

How many days per week can I expect to work?  That's another common question and the ideal seems to be 4 days per week as that allows for extra time to support clients with their requirements for year ends, budgets, forecasting and fund raises.  It also allows for time for networking.

French Connection the UK fashion retailer LSE:FCCN has received two takeover bids, in this episode our resident financial expert Adrian Lawrence discusses this and the changing dynamics in the high street.
French Connection rejected a takeover in January 2020 as being too low, that bid was around 40p but since then the high street shopping channel in the UK has been very seriously impacted by the three pandemic lockdowns.  The share price has been bombed out as have other companies who operate in the retail, leisure or hospitality sectors.   Towards the end of last year 2020, their share price was trading around the 10p level.  Now following on from the speculation surrounding retail brands and the actual announcement on Friday of formal takeover approaches, their price has jumped to 25p.

In today's episode Adrian our in house financial expert discusses the news from Hargreaves Lansdown today that they attractive growing numbers of younger investors.   There are many factors behind this trend, interest rates are very low in the UK at the moment and during the lockdown spending has been lower than normal meaning people have more savings available for investment.
The lockdown also means there is less travel and commutting which means more time available to research and investigate investment options.   This trend is welcome as the UK population is living longer and the stock market is a key source of funding for companies, direct investment get younger people more engaged with the economy.

Some of the benefits include
* Access to high level skills normally only available in larger organisations
* Cheaper that employing someone full time, e.g one day per week is 1/5 of cost
* Improvements to Management Information can more than pay for the cost
