Corporate Finance & Business Advisory
Capital, strategy, and the clarity to act on both.
We work with SMEs and growth-stage businesses to structure funding, navigate complex financial decisions, and build the strategic foundations that support long-term value creation.
Our Approach
Good advice doesn't just solve the problem in front of you — it anticipates the ones ahead.
Most businesses reach inflection points where the right financial decision determines the next five years. Whether you are raising capital for the first time, restructuring your balance sheet, or evaluating a strategic opportunity, Clutch brings the rigour of institutional finance to the scale of a growing business. We work closely with founders, promoters, and leadership teams — not as transaction processors, but as long-term advisors.
What We Do
Fundraising & Capital Structuring
We advise on the right mix of debt and equity for your stage and objectives — identifying the appropriate instruments, preparing investor-ready documentation, and supporting you through the raise.
Debt Syndication
We structure and facilitate term loans, working capital facilities, and structured debt from banks and NBFCs — matching your repayment capacity and growth timeline to the right lender and product.
Business Valuations
We provide independent, defensible valuations for fundraising, M&A, ESOP structuring, regulatory compliance, or internal planning — grounded in methodology, not just multiples.
Project Finance
For capital-intensive projects, we structure financing that aligns with project cash flows — coordinating between promoters, lenders, and other stakeholders to close funding efficiently.
Strategic Advisory
We work with leadership teams on financial strategy, growth planning, and key business decisions — bringing an external perspective that is both analytically grounded and commercially aware.
M&A & Transaction Support
We support buy-side and sell-side mandates for SMEs — from initial structuring and due diligence support through to negotiation and close.

How We Work
01
Understand the Business
We begin with a thorough understanding of your business model, financials, and strategic objectives — before recommending any structure or solution.
02
Define the Right Structure
We identify the optimal capital structure or advisory approach for your specific situation — balancing cost, risk, control, and timing.
03
Execute with Precision
We prepare the documentation, engage the right counterparties, and manage the process — keeping you informed and in control at every stage.
04
Stay Engaged
Our relationship does not end at close. We remain available as your business evolves, your capital needs change, and new decisions arise.
Start the Conversation
If you are thinking about your next raise, a valuation, or a strategic decision — let us begin with a conversation.
We work with a select number of clients at any given time, which means every engagement gets our full attention. The first step is always a candid discussion about where you are and where you want to go.
