In recent years, the search for capital has become more complicated. Ilfa supports organisations in finding the right funding strategy by combining in-depth knowledge and experience in all forms of funding with a network of partnerships, banks and alternative funders. This allows us to work specifically on a funding structure that supports the development of organisations and helps you realise your ambitions. Ilfa's approach not only helps to obtain the required capital, but also provides support in financial management.
To gain insight into the possibilities, we test the fundability of your organisation and jointly arrive at a suitable structure. In doing so, we do not limit ourselves to calling the bank, but look for a suitable solution, whether it consists of loans, bonds, shares or a combination of these.
Thanks to our many years of experience in the financial world, we have built up a large network consisting of financial institutions, alternative funders, professional investors and other specialists. We offer you access to this network and support you with the contact.
When it comes to larger funding needs, it is good to bind various sources of capital to your organisation and use various forms of funding to meet the total funding requirement. We enable you to apply a suitable legal structure to this.
Finding the right funding does not come about automatically. We go through a number of steps, based on the principles that the investment decision comes before the funding decision, and that financing is a means and not an end. This roadmap shows how our approach carefully prepares your search for optimal funding and thoroughly maps out alternatives.

Bonds are an ancient instrument. Basically, a bond is a severable debt instrument of a loan taken out by an organisation. Investors who buy a bond lend money to the organisation and receive interest in exchange. The bond is repaid after its term. All bonds in a loan have the same value and rights and there is no relationship of ownership.
A share is a security that indicates that you are the owner of an organisation for the percentage of shares that you own. Shares come with voting rights at the shareholders' meeting of the organisation and, if the organisation distributes them, shares entitle you to dividends and price gains.
There are many different types of loans, but what is always the case is that a party receives a sum of money that has to be repaid in the long run. Usually, a compensation is expected for making the money available, the interest.
A convertible bond is a bond that can be exchanged for other securities, often shares, under certain conditions.
