• What is an ASA (US SAFE note)?

  An ASA, or Advanced Subscription Agreement, is the UK’s answer to the US SAFE note. It is a quick and flexible way for investors to put money into your business without needing to set a valuation. Essentially, they’re buying future shares at a discount, which they’ll get once your next funding round or other trigger event happens.

• What is a CLN?

  Similarly to an ASA, a CLN is a way for investors to fund a business without needing to set a valuation. The only difference is that they can be rewarded in either shares or cash once the trigger event occurs.

• What documents do I need in my data room?

  Your data room should contain all the essential documents investors need to refer to throughout the investment process. This should include your pitch deck, financial forecasts, cap table, key legal documentation, any S/EIS documents you may have, and shareholder agreements. These are dynamic and may change from business to business, but the key thing is that you are transparent, and showing investors that your business is organised and ready-to-go.
